Right?? With children and teenagers, you're often desperate to fit in or at least have some confirmation that you aren't "strange" and this would've been the perfect "excuse" for why I liked catching bugs, playing sports with boys, and preferred shorts to mini skirts. But I've since grew out of a lot of that (still play a lot of sports with men and like wearing shorts) but I also love dressing up in a traditionally feminine way, have a wonderful MALE fiance, and love wearing new makeup. I am clearly not uncomfortable in my body or sexuality but some radical trans activists would've put that idea in my head if they existed when I was a kid. And at that age, I would've been very confused not as a result of anything I felt, but because of what some people and the media have been telling me. Kids and teens are super impressionable.
