Gender Discussion #103

[threeSMEGfridges]

I was a massive Tom boy from the age of 11 until I was about 20. I hated being a girl but I think that’s because my body was changing, I didn’t want to be a boy because they smelt lol. I just didn’t want boobs, big hips and to have a period (I didn’t get that until I was 17 but it terrified me from when my older sister started hers at 9 when I was 7).

I know if I’d have grown up now with everything available I would have been convinced I was a boy or NB. I’m not either and I’m glad I had an understanding mum who just let me do what I wanted dress wise and let me grow out of it. I still don’t dress overtly feminine and I love anything baggy or bulky (big chunky boots or dr martens) but I’m most definitely a woman. Your daughter will be ok in that sense and you’re doing an awesome job.

This is me also.

I'm a new mum and my daily wear is a sweatshirt or wool jumper, baggy jeans, and practical boots.

def still a woman, and a mother! Also a breastfeeder not chest feeder
