[quote=Anonymous]My daughter (grown) had a kind of interesting trajectory. She went through an intense phase of tomboy-ness and then became a real girly girl. After that, it sort of mellowed and then in high school, she started wearing men's clothing, hanging out with boys, and generally adopting more masculine traits. She's lesbian, and I guess it must have to do with that, although I'm reluctant to suggest a direct cause and effect as it's so different for so many people. Your daughter sounds very cool, OP! Trust me, people have different interests. She'll figure it out. Honestly, as a little kid, what matters is that you're happy, not that you have your gender identity pinned down. My much older sister transitioned at 75, and she lived her life in the way she wanted until she decided to switch pronouns. She was never a different person and nobody really cared (although we are a pretty progressive household). You sound like a great parent, and I'd advise you to continue letting your child be herself.[/quote]
