My parents are looking for a girl for marriage. I am unable to decide anything. Please help me or guide me Doctors.

Yes you are having gender identity issues! but you need to get the hormones in your body evaluated first to make sure that you have more feminine traits. But you need to consult a psychiatrist and subsequently endocrinilogist. Surgery for genter change would be your third stage.

Sometimes the experiences of childhood can make a person lean towards the other gender. I suggest that you meet a counsellor to help you vent out your thoughts and emotion. Counselling is confidential and non judgemental. She can also help you decide the best course of action since you mention marriage. There are many ways to get around this situation.
