Well its only displayed by some media that people knew from early on (this is changing now).
People are individuals, with individual histories.
You could have a look here for a few thoughts that might help:

And usually people kind of know some answers... its kind of an inner knowing...
You might play around a bit with hair and clothing style... womens or unisex trousers, sweaters one or two sizes bigger... second hand stores could be a good source. It can be really fun.
You could try some easy reversible steps, just don't overdo it in the beginning, because going back might be not easy. You might try for every day some light changes...
Questions to ask could be:
would you like a bit more female body to be a bit more happy?
And you don't have to identify as female all of the time.
How would you like to be perceived ?
You might start with easy reversible steps, like changes to hair and clothing style.
and see how it makes you feel... I'd say go with a feeling of joy....
I'd say take the time you need but keep at it...
its a process, but many have been there before and succeeded, and people here will try to support you.
And you might keep asking questions, alone writing might help getting a better view...
You might think about a good gender therapist... not a gatekeeper but a supportive person to help you along...
if they are not supportive you might look for another...
you might ask at trans groups, plannedparenthood, a lgbt center or a school counselor you trust for a referral...
and if you want to talk to someone in person, you could talk to a friend or call here for example:
glbthotline dot org/hotline.html
they also have a chat
translifeline dot org
many *hugs*
