My daughter is transgender?

Hello. My daughter has been showing signs that are worrying me. Well my daughter has always had a boyish personality, but she wear all normal and everyrhing were okay. During the past 2 years. She completely changed, she still has a boyish personality but its so much wlrse now. She speaks/acts/wear/walk like a guy. She even hates anything that is too girly, and she hates wearing pink or soft colors because she says 'Those colors are for girls, i hate them'. She likes dark colors alot, and she likes wearing edgy clothes and she likes boys fashion. Sometimes she even want to buy from the guy's sections but i refuse. She hates wearing dresses, and skirts. She even hates and never wear ballet flat shoes. And she says she would rather wear combat boots at parties instead of high heals. She also cut her hair 'pompadour haircut'. She refuse wearing nail polish although she does wear makeup.  Her accessories are also weird, she never wear necklace that has a cute shape on them, even earrings. She wear spikes, and a kind of death rocker style. She also refuse to show any feminine features, such as her breats or even her chest, or even her legs. She always covers them. I did a blood test for her, and she had a very high 'male hormone' (testosterone). The Doctor told me that she will get over it. And the hormones will be back to normal. But im just noticing that everything is getring worse. Is it a normal stage at a teenager year? Should i be too much concerned? Is it just her fashion style/personality or is she a lesbian? Although she date guys. Its too confusing.

I think that your daughter is still learning about who she is.  If she feels more masculine then she should be able to express it.  There is nothing wrong about a girl having dominant male charecteristics.

That sounds just like me when I was a teen, and I'm straight and have no desire to be male. It's probably just a phase, but you should talk to her and ask her why she want to dress and act like that, it can be just a preference. Personally, I still sometimes buy men's cloths and hate dresses.
