Something my mom said...

[cynthialee]

My favoite things are my guns and knives. I love heavy metal music and I get a rush from confrontations.
Yet I still am female. No doubt whatsoever. Yes this worried me, then I started noticing the women around me here in northern Washington state. They are a rough and tumble lot of women who hail from an agricultural life style. They ride horses and ATV's, hunt, farm and fish with just as much gusto as their men do. My weapon collection is a sad joke compared to my best friend Jills'. And she is all girl.

My mom said the same thing about me.. but then again, I never had much of a problem with who I was before I hit puberty. It was when the boys and the girls really started to separate and diverge from one another that I started to have real problems.

I have a ten year old daughter who doesn't like dolls that much, and hates the color pink.

So yeah, it doesn't matter whether or not we did anything especially "girly" when we were children. I just consider myself the typical "tomboy"... except, I really happened to be a boy, physically. If natal girls can be tomboys, then we can too :-)
