Hi! I'm looking for manga with a strong manly girl as the main character in which she's not making a fun of herself. Hope it makes sense. If the term transgender is discussed even better. No hentai. Thanks

Otomen - more like a third main character in this series, but she doesn't make fun of herself. (She can't even do that...)
He Dedicated to Roses - As much as I don't want to recommend a Hwang Mi Ri work, well... This features a girl dressed up as a guy in order to alleviate her stress.
Basara - Never got passed the first chapter, but I'm sure she does everything in her brother's name.
The Third - strong willed girl. I never read the manga. Only watched the anime version so I don't know how the manga (which is said to be the prequel) goes.

Since you didn't specify a genre, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Peridot fits that description.
Such a tiny dream.

Thanks a lot
I've read Otomen and liked it although she's not the type of character I'm looking for. More like After School Nightmare but female variant. I like drama, adventure and such.
I only started reading Basara but I didn't like the art so stopped at the first chapter as well.
Oh, and I did browse through this category and others like that but I didn't find what I was looking for. They're always looked at in a comic way.
I'll give the rest recommendations a try. Thanks

Oh, in THAT case (genuinely masculine female characters w/ serious genderbending and w/out comedy that makes fun of it), consider these classics:
Orpheus no Mado
Oniisama E - BRILLIANT, but be prepared to scrape your crushed heart up from the floor!
Rose of Versailles
Princess Knight
More recent manga that might suit:
Hana no Kishi
Savage Garden
Saver
Operation Liberate Men - occasional comedic elements, but not the "make fun" sort
Hana no Asukagumi! - not trans per se, but a really tough girl with short hair
Enjoy.

Claudine, definitely. A serious take on transgenderism by the queen of manly females, Riyoko Ikeda.
Hourou Musuko's secondary main character is a girl like this who might be transgender.
Himitsu no Hanazono (FUJII Mihona) - Like Orpheus no Mado, this girl disguises herself as a man in order to get an inheritance.
Fushigi no Kuni no Senichiya - This story is about a princess who is disguised as a boy to keep her father from killing her.
Paros no Ken - Another princess brought up as a prince. She falls in love with a laundry girl.
Revolutionary Girl Utena - A classic. The anime is even better.
Shitsurakuen - A fairly suckish knockoff of Utena.
