I read this paperback around 1985 as a middle school student and have been looking for it since.

From what I recall, the book opens with the girl being publicly whipped and then expelled from a school because she was found out as a girl when she started menustrating. This is in some kind of otherworld human settlement. She goes to some temple afterward as a girl and I glossed over some of those parts. There is some kind of survival trial that only boys can go through, but I don't remember for sure if it was some kind of elimination contest and what the purpose was, only that girls weren't supposed to participate and she was going to anyway. Whatever the contest/trial was, it took place in this wilderness outside the human settlement, with deadly otherworld flora and fauna. She almost dies at the end of it, but instead she finds herself being medically treated and learns she is not the first (disguised-as-a-boy) girl to pass this trial.

Then the rest of the book is about her interacting with this warrior/catlike alien species, and I don't remember much about it except there's a scene where she's wounded and the alien friend instinctively tastes her blood, by putting its claws in its mouth without thinking, and is then mortified because it's a grave insult to make this gesture.
