...expected to play rough sports at school, hard rough and tumble, 1 up manship all the time in a pack, the whole macho pecking order

But that's the fun stuff!

Until you get tired of being number 10 forever in a group of 9 guys.  Then, I'm lead to understand, it gets real old, real fast.

Those are the ones who don't think it's fun.

It might be in the short game, but never in the long run.

I agree, yeah it was never fun for me as a guy.
Now guys see me in a different light, I get male attention from straight guys who checked me out, they look at my legs, my butt, my hips, my cleavage, these days Iv a better relationship with guys, not to play rough and tumble games getting all dirty and messy ugh yucky, but to hold me, be gentle with me, give me flowers and chocolates, kiss and hug me and just take care of me, a nice strong guy but is gentle and treats a girl like a lady, Im lucky I have a boyfriend (fiancé) who does just that, hope Im not annoying you guys, can't help it, just a typicial girl.

This only applies if I'm actually passing as a male, lol, which isn't often right now

• I get looked at funny if my voice goes up too high
• I get stares whether I'm in the ladies' or the mens' section of the shop
  
• I'm expected to lower my standards of hygiene (I HAVE to shower once a day, and change my clothes too. if I'm on a camping trip I can get smelly, but not when I'm around friends and going to college XS)
  

But I've always liked spitting contests and playing rough! Once in a backyard football game I got ahold of the pigskin, and because the others (all guys!) were reluctant to tackle me, they just sort of hung on me. And I had been tackling them unmercifully the whole game, too. Guess what? I shocked the hell out of them when I kept trucking, even with 3 guys on my back! XD It was purely the adrenaline though, cos I couldn't keep it up for long. Had to chuck the ball to my brother when I was only 15 feet from the 'endzone' fence.
