so i'm still trying to figure out what i am, gender wise. I know I'm not cisgender (being okay with the gender I was born with.) because I honestly loathe the whole situation going on down there but sometimes (very rarely) i do like things that are considered "girly" & I'm pretty sure I'm not gender fluid, because I prefer boy stuff over anything & everything. (clothing, pronouns - he,him, his - etc.) but I just really don't know what I am. I'm considered a "late bloomer" when it comes to experimenting with sexuality & gender stuff since I'm just starting these things when I'm 17 almost 18... god i feel like I'm rambling, but I shouldn't. ANYWAYS. Could someone please give me advice on what I can do about these things? I would talk to my therapist about it, or another trusted adult, but I don't know what to do, honestly...

In my personal opinion, I would wait until you turn 18 before mentioning this to a therapist. I know a lot of people may disagree with me on this, but from my personal experience/in my opinion, if your therapist doesn't support LGBTQ ideals, they can tell your parents, which really can complicate things. However, how YOU feel, is the most important thing here. YOU know your therapist (obviously I don't), so it is your full choice. You should consider asking your therapist about what their professional stance is on gender issues, or consider seeing a therapist who specializes in the gender spectrum. As for what you mentioned about the situation "down there", you could have some gender dysphoria going on; which really does help to talk to someone about, because it can be really rough to deal with (and super stressful). 
Look into reading some articles etc and people's blogs that associate with their gender. Sexuality and gender in general are fluid, and ANY person no matter what their sex/gender is can have more masculine or feminine traits. A man can be feminine, a woman can be masculine. Since you mention how your prefer male pronouns, maybe look into transgenderism. Like someone else mentioned, experiment. Try presenting as male sometimes, or look into things like wearing binders etc. If you decide it's more comfortable, keep up with it. If it doesn't feel right, go back to what does. You don't need to stress and fit some type of label immediately and see it as set in stone; just do what feels good to YOU. 

Youtube can be really resourceful, these two bloggers might be worth watching (and they're really funny). Also, if you need anyone to talk to online about this type of stuff, feel free to message me. Hope it helps, and good luck with everything!
