How would a GIRL know if she was trans?

It seems like it would be easy for a guy to tell if he was trans because he would be wanting to do feminine things like hair, nails, makeup, etc.

But what qualities of a man would someone experience inside? I don't get how a girl would be able to tell that she was trans and not just athletic or something similar to that.

  • Good question. Is it wanting to be a guy or do things like a guy or just a lesbian? No one really thinks about that considering it is ok and acceptable for a girl to wear guy clothes and it is encouraged for them to do "guy" things. Could there be more acceptance for a girl to do more in that sense versus a guy? It is amazing how things are never really perfect is it?

  • They wanna do male things, play with trucks and army men, wear male clothes instead of dresses. Be a bit more rough. Have confused sexual feelings.

  • It's tricky. But either way it comes down to intimacy. Either them opening up that they are or them revealing themselves at home.

    Otherwise it can be practically impossible especially sense they learn how to move and can share the same bathroom.

    Voice can be a way, face shape, chest size and even body. Excess hair and things like that but they have already thought of these things already. Some take care of them however while others choose not to.

    • some people think is a girl enjoys doing more traditional male things. while not enjoying more traditional girl things.
    • or dressing and acting like more of a tomboy instead of a girly girl.
    • that she is more likely to be trans, bi or gay to some degree.
    • but it could just mean she grow up around more males then females. so she just enjoys going more traditional boy style activates.
    • not every girl has to be girly to embrace her feminine side once in a while.
    • typo *some people think if a girl*

    • But what are "traditional male things"? The only one I can think of is sports. And lots of girls play sports, so that doesn't seem like it would be very unusual.

    • more outdoors things. like fishing, hunting, camping, sports, etc.

  • Well from a young age they feel. they were born in the wrong body?

  • I wouldn't really know

  • If you don't know you're not trans. Simples.

    • You might be a lesbian. Did you kiss a girl and like it?

  • I can answer from a Christian perspective or a science perspective (DNA---X or Y).

    A significant thing that I see is lack of a father figure in the family, as well as a potential source of abuse from someone close to the person.

    • If you're hurting and would like to talk, feel free to PM me. Many of these folks are led into making decisions that they will forever regret. They go through so much physical pain to keep from truly dealing with their mental pain, struggling to find someone who genuinely cares.

    • ... or, struggling to find a place where they feel like they belong...

    • However, science says that it's brain structure.

  • By looking to see if they got a Adams apple

    • No, what I mean is how would a female know that she had a man's mind in a woman's body?

    • Oh I don't know then sorry

  • Because from a young age, they would be disgusted by feminine things and prefer masculine things, like most boys are. This is assuming that trans people are transgender from birth. I think it’s a lot easier to see when a girl is transgender
