Is it normal to want to be the opposite gender?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to want to be another gender or wonder what life would feel like that way. It may be part of exploring your gender, but you don’t have to pick a label or figure everything out right away.

Yes. People have all kinds of feelings about their gender: you might wish you were another gender, feel more comfortable imagining yourself that way, or simply be curious. You’re not alone, and there’s no one required way to understand it.

For some people, the feeling is a clue that a different gender label fits; for others, it shifts over time or doesn’t lead to a label at all. You can take your time noticing what feels comfortable, and talk it through with someone supportive if you want. You don’t owe anyone a decision or explanation before you’re ready.
