test

This test won’t determine your gender. Nothing can — not a quiz, not a specialist, not a page on the internet. Only you.

Instead, it’s fourteen questions about everyday things: the mirror, your voice, childhood games, the “sex” box on a form. Small things on their own; together, plenty to think about.

Answer the way you feel, not the way that’s “correct”. No one’s watching.

01 / 05 Format

How the test works

Four answer options per question, about five minutes — and everything stays between you and your browser.

By the way
The guide has a short version — a seven-question mini-reflection. This test is its follow-up: twice as long, with the results unpacked in more detail.

If you’d rather sort out the concepts first, start with the gender section of the guide.

The questions

Take your time: no one’s grading you here.

1In a clothing store, you head to “your” section. How does it feel?
2Games “for the other gender” in your childhood — how was that for you?
3How do you feel about your own voice?
4A stranger calls you “sir” or “miss” — and gets it wrong. What happens inside?
5You’re creating a game avatar — gender, body, voice. Do you make a copy of yourself?
6Imagine you have to pick a new name for yourself. What do you go for?
7A magic button: spend one day in a body of another sex — or one with no sex characteristics at all. Press it?
8Try referring to yourself in your head as “he” or “she” — whichever one isn’t yours. How does it sound?
9Morning, the mirror, you. What happens between you two?
10Puberty, your body starting to change. How do you remember it?
11Imagine yourself ten years from now — the happiest version. What do they look like?
12Has clothing, a nickname, or a form of address that wasn’t “meant for you” ever suddenly felt absolutely right?
13“Boys don’t cry”, “girls should be modest” — how do phrases like these land with you?
14A form, the “sex” field, two boxes: M and F. What do you feel?
03 / 05 Scoring

How to read your result

Each answer option is worth 0 to 3 points — in order, left to right. The total lands between 0 and 42: find your range below.

0–8

“Looks like you’re home”

Judging by your answers, you’re at ease in the gender you were handed at birth. That’s a gender identity too — it simply happens to match, which is why you barely notice it, like comfortable shoes.

What next: read how gender works for other people — it’s interesting even when everything lines up for you.

9–17

“A few questions came up”

Some of it snags — and that’s fine: it happens to cis people too. Doubt doesn’t make you anything; it just makes you more attentive to yourself.

What next: reread the questions you lingered on longer than usual — they’re the most interesting part.

18–26

“Something doesn’t add up”

There’s a pattern in your answers: some of the expectations and labels clearly weren’t written with you in mind. That’s a reason to get to know yourself better — with curiosity, not anxiety.

What next: in private, try out other pronouns or a different name — a trial run, no strings attached. And open the glossary in the guide: sometimes one precise word brings more clarity than a month of mulling it over.

27–34

“Much of it resonates”

The mismatch here isn’t a one-off episode but something you’ve been carrying for a long time. Know this: you are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you.

What next: try writing your observations down — even in the notes app on your phone: a thought put into words takes up less room than one circling in your head. And if you get tired of untangling it alone, look for an accepting professional — just to share the questions with an actual human.

35–42

“Almost everything resonates”

Almost every question landed somewhere familiar. That many matches is a good reason to keep exploring — gently, and on your own terms.

What next: go back to the guide and reread it start to finish — chances are it will read differently now.

04 / 05 Q & A

Mini-FAQ

What is gender identity?

It’s an internal sense of who you are: whether you feel like a man, a woman, someone in between, or outside these categories. It doesn’t depend on clothing, hairstyle, or other people’s expectations. And every person has one. If you want more precise words, have a look at the glossary in the guide.

Can a test determine my gender?

No. Gender identity isn’t a sum of points: no questionnaire can calculate it. A test just suggests which direction to look in.

How is gender identity different from sex?

Sex is biology: chromosomes, hormones, anatomy — what was recorded at birth. Gender identity is your inner sense of self, and it may or may not match your biology. The first is visible in a medical chart; the second only from the inside. There’s a handy cheat sheet in the guide: how sex differs from gender — in short.

Is the test anonymous?

Yes, completely. All answers are scored right in your browser: nothing is saved, nothing is sent, nothing will surface anywhere. Close the page and the result no longer exists.

What should I do with my result?

Whatever you like — that’s the point. You can do nothing with it, flip through the guide again, or talk it over with someone you trust. The result isn’t homework — it’s a note in the margins.

If the test stirred up more than you expected

It happens: questions about yourself sometimes touch things that have been lying quiet for a long time.

You don’t have to sort everything out at once: this process has no schedule, and you can change your mind as many times as you need.

A calm place to get your bearings is our guide: it starts with the basics and works its way, step by step, to attraction and orientation. If it’s a live conversation you’re after, there are queer-friendly therapists — they won’t try to “fix” anything. And if the test leaves something unsaid — message me, I’m all for it.
