not wanting to conform to the traditional gender role that comes along with having a penis/vagina

It is more feeling that one does not belong to the sex they were assigned at birth.

Research shows that gender-nonconforming teens realize that they feel "different" at around age 8, but usually don't disclose for about 10 years. That's 10 years of feeling that they are in the wrong body.
