I had so many stuffed animals (still do), I played with Barbies, Polly Pocket, Playmobil, Legos, Tinker Toys, those cardboard brick things...
I played with a lot of stereotypical feminine toys, but I also played with a fair amount of stereotypical masculine toys.  Perhaps that was because I have a brother.
I still have lots of stereotypical feminine things, such as a few Beanie Babies, model horses and fairies, but I also have swords, a guitar, beer steins...
I think what you played with more defines you, but the past you.  The past you can be similar to the now you, or can be completely different.  People live their lives and change accordingly, you know?

I don't think it does, either. Toys being "gendered" is pretty silly to begin with, if you ask me.

As a child, I played mostly boy's toys, but that was because that was what I was given. In reality, I couldn't understand why the boys always hated Barbies and dolls. My parents bought me a log cabin 'dollhouse' with was pretty much a dollhouse for boys. lol. I loved it and played with it as any girl would.

I loved and still love playing video games as well. I've never been into the violent type of games, though. And the instant Pokemon started allowing us to be female (which would have been about when I was 12), I chose female trainers and never looked back!
