[quote=Anonymous]Is there a distinction between teens who are not sure/confused/etc and kids who have strong gender feelings from an early age? We have a friend whose daughter, now 8, has been since an early age, identifying more with boys--in how she manages clothing, appearance, activities and now, desire to use the boy's bathroom and says she feels like she is more like male friends (she doesn't have many female friends, maybe 1)--without having the language yet to identify as transgender. The parents are supportive, but also kind of want to let her figure it out and not push anything one way or another. TO me, her identity seems pretty strong, and emerged without exposure to what being transgender is. [/quote]
