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: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/s...user.shtml

(My results for that test were mildly feminine.)
came up fenimine
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.

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.

Post: #3 = Great response, Callista

Abscout, since this isn't at all about AS and no one here is particularly likely to be an expert on TG issues, I hope you're also asking questions on more TG-specific sites. You're right in the middle of the CONFUSION PHASE, so you need to be careful about where and how you seek answers.
