Many memories form childhood....


  • My cousins and I used to play pretend a lot and when picking up characters I always was a boy. I don't remember how it started because I was very little but I just was and noone questioned it. One time my mom catched my sister and I and she was calling me sir while playing (she was on a carousel and I was the owner) and my mother got reeeaally angry about this, she prohibited me to play as a boy again :< next time I went playing with my cousins they said "and you're going to be a boy, right?" with all the pain in my heart I said that no, I was going to be a girl this time...
  • My sister is not even a full year older than me, so in pictures from our childhood we look almost the same age. We always had long hair but my mother dressed us differently, I don't know if she picked the clothes for us but she almost always dressed me in boy clothes when I was 5 to 7, aprox. Like if my sister had the Mimmie mouse blouse and skirt I had the Mickey mouse shirt and shorts, if she had a pink dolphins jumper from the beach I had the blue dolphins jumper... We had the same mulan comforter and it featured geisha Mulan on one face of the bedcover and warrior Mulan on the other side... guess who had wich facing up on their bed?
  • I always played with toys stereotipical for boys and before hitting 7 I was used to other kids saying "you're a boy because you like things that are for boys" It made me really angry. Not being called a boy but the fact that I couldn't enjoy the things I liked because those sh*t heads thought so... They said it in a very negative way and sometimes I felt very ashamed of this fact.
  • My niece is 2 years old, my brother and his family live in another state so the last time I saw her she was just learning how to walk. This chirstmass they came to visit and the girl already speaks and everything. The first thing she says when she sees me is "dad, who's that boy?". My brother told him I was a girl and that I was her aunt and ever since the girl just doesn't get near me... It may be because she doesn't know me but I actually think she's afraid of this andro creature his daddy says is her aunt...
  • A lot of kids stare at me at malls and when I'm grocery shopping... most people do but kids don't even try to be subtle. I never say anything
  • I came out to an old friend of mine last week and one of the first things he said was "honestly I saw it comming long time ago. I hope other people will react the same as him.

eh, for me, I was the elephant in the room but everyone just kept asking me if I was gay. I kept saying I play for neither team so I guess basically since Icould talk. I even had people ask me to talk in my actually voice. I was one big question mark

  When my kids were younger I would pick them up at school, they would tell me that their friends thought I was their mother, this happened a few times when they were in grammar school and high school.  My wife asked a few times in the past if I was fruity(her words).
