Lots of preteen tend to display signs of gender dysphoria at such tender age; but most often, they tend to stop once they start getting to puberty. Majority of kids who have difficulty with gender identity often maintain their biological sex by the time they reach puberty but if they don’t maintain their biological sex even till after puberty, then it’s permanent. And there’s very little to nothing you can do about it. Even kids that maintain their biological sex, most of them tend to become homosexuals in the future.
The best thing you can do for her at that age is to support her, supporting her would mean the world to her, I mean, nothing beats having super supporting parents. She’s still very much young, so she’s definitely going to be subjected to lots of bullying especially in school, among her peers. The support you give to her will be what will help her through bullying because you won’t be with her in school, but f she already has so much love from home, she’s be able to handle the bullying that comes her way. Lots of love💕
