[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone for your help, ideas, and encouragement. I am hoping this is a temporary thing. This is still puzzling to me because my DD has never showed the typical signs (played with dolls and stuffed animals, played dress up, dressed like a princess for Halloween on more than one occasion (her choice), and liked to dress up for special events. She's never looked like or acted like what I would call a tomboy. However, she's always preferred playing with boys over girls, and has never been girly or enjoyed typical girl talk.  So this is really surprising to me that she came to this conclusion and seems pretty certain about it.

Thanks everyone for your perspectives. This has been helpful for me, especially since I am not ready to talk to anyone yet.

I agree with your point, PP. I'm going to hold off on joining any support groups until I have a better sense of what this , but will be talking to a general therapist to help her sort out these issues. [/quote]
