Mom was a child psychologist (past away about 10 years ago) and I remember how she once told me that there were signs from a very young age, even before puberty. Androgynous behavior (it's apparently not just a stereotype) can be an indication. This is not to say that every tom boyish girl is going to grow up to be a lesbian but there is apparently a correlation.
But you are correct that the environment doesn't make it so, at least as far as the field is concerned.
