it seems like a lot of MTF's liked mermaids as a kid. i always liked unicorns - had posters and wrote about them and stuff. i was wondering if maybe unicorns were a common theme among ftms? :D
I never really cared for unicorns. Loved horses though.
But mainly the thing that held my interest as a child was vampires. Every halloween I was a vampire. I always had stories about vampires in my head. Might end up writing one when it's not so in vogue to do so. :P
Never cared for unicorns or horses.
Loved dragons & dogs though!

Yes and Cars too! ;D

I have something like a phobia for horses, so I hadn't ever cared of unicorns :P
But I always loved dogs and wolves since I can remember. :)
Also, when I was a kid I wanted to be a wolf (after I saw the Jungle Book on tv), but I think this is also related to my disphoria ::)
Dragons, cars, and monsters for me. ;D And cats.
Never cared for unicorns- they were too girly for me. Pegasuses are cool, but I've always been a dragon and monster fanatic. >:-)
only the unicorns in harry potter....
love horses though....i'm a part time trainer...kind of...i trained my horse and a couple others...until my horse slipped on the road and fell on top of me....now i'm sorta scared to ride....sorta
I actually have a small unicorn tattoo....
not especially, but did have a My Little Pony one:

those aren't mine, but still got mine somewhere.
I used to have a My Little Pony Pink bike :-X
Unicorns never interested me in the slightest; nor did horses or ponies or anything like that. I just always, from a very young age, wanted a motorbike (still haven't got one, but one day I will!) ;D
:)
No, no unicorns. I did like horses, but my parents couldn't afford lessons, so I dropped that idea.
I did hang out at the dairy farm across the street. Does that count?

lol! I had my little pony too. :P And those troll things with the gem in their belly button that you rub and make a wish...

My plastic army men had many a battle with those creatures.
i had no draw to unicorns.
Yikes, dude. No offense, because you know you're my friend, but I always thought pretty badly of people who liked unicorns and dolphins excessively. Of course, it more pertained to those who retained the obsession into adulthood.
I loved penguins as a kid. Also had trolls and my little pony. I was terrified of dolls, though. Still am, to some extent.
SD
I liked dolphins.
Dragons win and always have. I love to draw them. Same for dogs, although I always had a dog phobia I can't seem to stop drawing them.
Nah, unicorns were always. . . well I guess they were too girly, although I wasn't really masculine when I was younger. Looks like we can't be stereotyped in that respect.

I was never really big on unicorns. I more liked Vampires and witches. Fairies are cool, too, but not as cool as Vampires. >:-)
Vampires pwn. End of conversation.
I never liked dolls but I was ALL about the My Little Ponies lol. Never really into unicorns unless they were the MLP variety.
Never liked unicorns or horses. Loved cars, computers and penguins - retained into adulthood.
Looks like cars may be more common than unicorns.... interesting :).
penguins are cool. :)
Nope, never cared for unicorns. The only thing I was really obsessed with was dinosaurs. I'd spend hours reading books about them and then would teach my mom all about different dinos

Ever since Jurassic Park I couldn't get enough of the guys. :P
I did My Little Pony when I was about 5 or 6, and unicorns...I had a poster of a unicorn family or whatever on my wall until one of my friends had a similar poster on hers surrounded by Barbie and Cabbage Patch dolls and I realised just how girly it was, and took mine down (it was getting tattered anyway, so I didn't mind. Think I would have been about 7 or 8 at the time). I think they're nice enough, but can't say I'm a devotee or anything. :P
I've always loved dinosaurs, I remember borrowing all the non-fiction dinosaur books in junior primary (about 5-8 years old), and when we had to look for spelling words my teacher got annoyed with me 'cause I chose archaeopteryx. ;D (Seriously, how cool are archaeopteryx?!! :laugh:).
Vampires I've also always loved, hence my old avatar, "When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire". So true, so true... :laugh:
And dragons, definitely. During my teenage years I had more dragon statues and paintings in my room than anything else. ::)
And cats, dogs, all forms of big cat, wolves, owls, snakes, horses, cuttlefish, lizards, eagles, lemurs... *Not* spiders, but most other arthropods... ;D
Unicorns were kinda nice, but I was more into dogs and cats and wolves.
I played a lot with legos and dominos. I built whole castles and the most intense dominos tracks.
Ahh, the weekends were I would get up early and build and build until my mum couldn't get into the kitchen anymore because all my dominos were blocking everything.
Always liked the building way more than letting them all fall down, though.

Romantic Vampires are current
but read the orinigal Bram Stocker. Dracula was far from romantic
No, I never had a thing for unicorns.
I really liked cars, though. Vampires and werewolves were interesting to me too. But mostly cars.

Romantic...maybe not in the lovey-dovey candle-lit dinner sense of the word, but certainly erotic. Read
"Kiss Me with those Red Lips": Gender and Inversion in Bram Stoker's Dracula by Christopher Craft,
Productive Fear: Labour, Sexuality and Mimicry in Bram Stoker's Dracula by Eric Kwan-Wai Yu,
'Borderlines' and 'Decadence, Homosexuality and Feminism.' Sexual Anarchy: Gender and Culture at the Fin de Siecle by Elaine Showalter and
Repossessing the Body: Transgressive Desire in 'Carmilla' and 'Dracula' by Elizabeth Signorotti. I spent the best semester of my English major researching the sexuality and gender-bendingness of
Dracula and

Vampires, werewolves, and zombies. The zombie apocalypse... My brother and I have this thing where we always plan our zombie apocalypse escape route, and critique buildings on their zombie apocalypse survivability. Being able to climb through ceiling vents, how big the windows are... you know, the usual...

Me too. Even before dinosaurs were as popular as they are now.
I grew up drawing dinosaurs and birds, from what I remember. I always had an affinity for vampires (as seems to be a trend), and played with cars and little lego men with my brother when I was young. Also had some of those trolls and ponies, but I liked them because the plastic they were made out of intrigued me... And nothing else. :P
I did have some of the ponies, but my brother and I pretty much destroyed them by putting them into war with the GI Joes. Apparently, pretend wounds weren't enough, and we actually shot them with needles. I was such a destructive little kid... :(
I can't say I was particularly drawn to unicorns, but I can see the Freudian connection. :D
...I loved My Little Pony...I didn't care for my other dolls, but I did love Carebears and Popples...oh! And those mixed animals...I had a BumbleLion...I don't remember what those were called though...Remember the Snorks? Basically, if it was a Saturday morning cartoon, I was all over it. :laugh:

It's all about Weebles. After all, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down".
Which also works for a lot of the people I work with.
OK
Miss ignorant from Oz is back. What is a Popple. Do eat it, suck it ;) or have strange sex games with it :laugh:
If so can I get one? :angel:
Cindy
I had a My Little Pony collection...
I was also a weird child. I used to say I wanted to grow up and be a horse so I could "Sleep in a barn and pee in the grass." I wore a pony tail made out of yarn even when it wasn't halloween haha.
I think that a lot of transpeople feel connected to animals because animals don't judge gender or anything. They tend to be a lot sweeter than most people haha.
I think the trolls are cool! and Dragons.
Unicorns are alright..like Charlie XD but I like dragons more

...I don't want to know what you're planning to do with the Popples, but here's a picture!

They roll up in a ball like this:

Basically, they had a pouch on their back that you could fold them into.
Here's a BumbleLion...he was a Wuzzle! (wuzzle means to mix...anyone else remember the CTBS tests?)

:P I have the 2 on the left. They were great to throw at people. They never saw it coming. First they see a doll and then a ball is flying at them. MWHAHAHA!
I had a purple one and a baby...Actually, I think I had at least one more, but I can't remember which ones...maybe the orange one or another baby...or both. LOVE POPPLES! Now I want to try to find mine or buy some...<3
Ah
Now I've seen them I want to have strange sex games with them. :laugh:
Cindy
I'd forgotten all about popples. :D I had a rock-star popple. I liked Ewoks better, though. ;D And mogwais. And, yes, I was careful to never feed them after midnight. ;)
Oh Jamie-Oh
Are you saying my ploy to have strange sex games with popples could have reprecussions? Never fancied EWOKS.
Life is so complicated, I just want to be depraved and live happily ever after, ala the Marquis.
I'm joking of course.
Cindy
Now there's an idea. Bondage popples. :P
I liked to chew on the unicorn's heads. ;D
Our play only went as far as hitting each other with them and comparing the bumps they left. :D
Brutal. :)
Those are cute. <3
OMG POPPLES!!!! I have to go through every box in my folks' attic and find all my old ones now.
I'll look for the Purrtenders while I'm at it.

I wore a pony tail made out of yarn even when it wasn't halloween haha.
Well, there are lots of adults into 'pony play' you might get your wish yet.
look it up, but I'm sure most postings are NSFW, but I always see a few at the Folsom Street Fair.
Horses, and unicorns, yes. I was obsessed. lol. Lately, though, it's been wolves. I still adore horses, though. lol
its ALL about the dragons.
