I found out that i....
Act, Think, Talk Like A Girl
And I Have Higher Esterogen Levels
I Think I Might Be Transgender (A girl in a boys body)
Anybody have any comments on this cause i want to learn more
Interesting. When you had your estrogen level tested, did you also make sure that you are genetically male? It's been known for a girl to develop into a physical male because of various reasons.
Anyway, if it's purely mental, and it isn't causing you any distress, I honestly wouldn't worry about it. I'm female, and I'm much more masculine than most girls--I don't care about hair or makeup, nor do I wear skirts or engage in "girl talk"--but I still do have the higher verbal ability of a female, and I'm physically quite feminine.
The aspects of me that aren't stereotypically female are the culturally-acquired aspects. That means that I'm biologically and neurologically female, but that I didn't pick up the cultural concept of "what a girl is" from the world around me.
In behavior and thought, I'm on the feminine side of androgynous. Physically, I'm female. I don't want to be male--I know I'm a girl--but I don't think of that fact as very significant. To me, being a girl is only somewhat more important than having brown hair, and much less important than having a knack for logic.
I'm wondering if perhaps you are in a similar position: You didn't acquire the "male" cultural stereotype, probably for the same reason as me--AS interfering with assimilation into the surrounding culture.
Testing brain gender:

(My results for that test were mildly feminine.)
I was told that I have a very masculine brain. So what? It does not mean anything to me. I am still a very feminine woman.
Being who you are or need to be should matter to you, not your hormone levels.
still i makes sense considering what i've been through
I guess I don't really understand what is so important about being one gender or the other...
i'm the only person who knows besides you guys
so no one knows that i'm transgender
I don't care what's expected of me to begin with... I shave my head when I feel like it, wear pants when I feel like it, go and get an engineering degree along with a bunch of guys. Expectations of "you should act like a girl" don't really mean much to me. I'm just... me. That's all.
I don't mean to be insensitive... I guess I really don't understand. Why is it causing you so much distress that you're not "acting like a guy"? Isn't enough to act like yourself, whoever that might be?
I've never met anybody who's transgendered before, except people who had some physical in-between thing that made them neither-nor (some of them are asexual, so that's how I met them). So I'm kind of clueless.
the only problem is that puberty is living HELLx10

take comfort in the fact puberty only lasts a few years, usally. then you have the rest of your teen years to get use to things.
yes but it just started
and in the morning i'm lifeless till i get my daily dose of estrogen (3 cups of soymilk)
and at night around 8:00PM i start acting all high
and during the day i feel like i'm falling apart
i still have every symptom and i went around dressed as a girl and acting as one (instead if hiding it....also my parents were out of town) i fit in perfectly! people did not know me and i manged to change my voice to more fenimine for a while, i even managed a fenimine hairstyle. it felt so good like it was me!
