My parents started calling me a girl. I'm a teen body builder, I have lot of friends but still they say I don't know things, like driving for example. They just call me a girl as an insult. This is actually triggering me psychologically.
Why my parents call me a girl even though I'm a boy? I know they are meaning it metaphorically but why?

They aren't going about it well (at all). I think they have expectations of you that they don't know how to help you achieve, so they are calling you a girl hoping it will somehow give you a vision of what the right path looks like.
A man should be someone who stands up for himself and what he believes in while having empathy for those less accomplished than he is. You have to learn a lot of lessons to get to that point, and it looks like one of those hurdles is unfortunately coming from your parents.
Don't let their comments discourage you from living your life. The only way for you to grow is if you maintain your desire to achieve your goals. Not everyone will have the same thoughts as your parents do. Keep doing things as you have been and you will learn everything that you need to learn.
My best advice would be to get your own place to live. Once I started living on my own in an apartment I began to really learn how to take care of myself mentally and physically, both personal decisions and how I manage my place in the world. When everything you do is for your own benefit (and you aren't getting constant feedback from your parents,) you will be on the express lane to happiness. Right now I'm teeming with enthusiasm and I feel like I can do anything. It's something I want everyone to feel as soon as they can. Good luck man.
