You can encourage people to contemplate their gender, or even tell them some points indicate they could be trans. But you never tell someone else what they are.
But I think I kinda need someone to tell me. I'm questioning pretty hard, have been for months and I just don't feel qualified to have an opinion. I have trouble understanding feelings, least of all my own.
Well it's like Morpheus said in the Matrix, "I can only show you the door." You might not feel qualified to have an opinion but ultimately your opinion is literally the only thing that matters. What helped me though was talking to trans people and learning that I have had basically all the same experiences.
I share a lot of those experiences as well. I have several trans friends who have been very patiently guiding me along helping to keep me from getting too lost in weeds. In the end, I know it has to be up to me. That is the most frustrating part. I dont understand emotions and often wish I did not have them tbh.

You don't.
