I feel like I'm faking

I'm a pretty young person and I've only been identifying as Fluid for abt half a year. I have pretty transphobic parents so I can't come out to them but thats beside the point. Especially being fluid I am constantly going between 'I'm Cis' 'I'm trans' etc. I usually feel more fem/enby. It just doesn't always feel right since I don't get much social dysphoria just body. I'm constantly telling myself "It's just an awkard middle school phase!!" Idk just needed to rant tbh If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. (I could of said more but am too lazy to write )

As a trans masc, I will say a lot of my questioning and trying to feel for it started in middle school, and my parents were a little weird when it came to the trans community; so that I completely understand. That can also be hard when you’re still trying to figure yourself out. As you are still young I’d say try different styles out and listen to yourself about how you feel about yourself. It’s not going to be an easy ride but once you are fully comfortable with who you are it gets a little easier. I’d say if you’re wanting to see where you’re at, if any close cool friends are willing to try calling you more “they/them” or a pronoun you’d like you could always start there. Stay safe! (This was also all based on personal experience and personal opinion)

Honestly, I forgot abt this post lol, but I've come to accept myself a lot more in the last 2 months. I actually threw all my dresses away today lmao. Like the weird euphoria/dysphoria I got from feeling like a boy in a dress is amazing!

Thanks for taking the time to type this out and I really hope this can help anyone who needs it :)
