My Barbies had loads of sex. The real Barbies were mean to the German version of Barbie. They usually ripped each others clothes off.

Also I really liked chewing on Barbie feet.


Yeah...thats probably a little wierder than driving her off a cliff....lol :P. Actually my Barbie got a lot of action with Ken.

My barbies were more prone to "enjoying" each other.

Mine had no Ken so they had to resort of a life of lesbianism, or zoophillia if they prefered Sylvanian Daddy Bears.

What a sick child.

Barbie and Sindy used to hang out with Action Man and Max Steel, but as far as I can remember nothing ever happened.

Though MRH if it makes you feel any better, mine also spent a lot of time driving over cliffs, though that was in a Humm-vee.  ???

I've been flipping through an old Mattel catalogue.  I just really want to spend the whole day playing with toys now.  I want to see a giant My Child doll stomp out Skeletor's lair! Boy toys and girl toys should mix it up.

I always end up asking myself the same question, 'when I am dead,what gender will I be?, and my answer is always the same, 'female', because that's what I am in spirit.

I had traditional boy toys growing up.

It was only in my 40s that i realized I liked playing with eyeliner and mascara  :D

A friend of mine used to run her Barbies over with her brother's tanks.
Her father sat her down and told her about how girls can become boys with hormones and surgery and asked her if she wanted to be a boy.
She said "No, I just like killing things."

Lol.

This has probably been covered but I played with both boy and girl associated toys - more so girls toys, because most of my friends were girls, but I also think toys are a stereotype I wasn't thinking "this is a girls toy", I was thinking "this is fun", as I grew up and was more aware of gender roles and society I think it was more of a choice - i'm still living as a male -
I regularly do my girlfriends nails and hair, even letting her practice doing my nails - she is/was a nail technician.
I haven't told her how i feel about wanting to be a woman but she knows, i think, i'm female deep down, i've been wearing feminine clothing for years at home and to bed
But back to the topic, I don't think the toys I played with as a child made me whom I am.

The toys don't make you anything. They are a possible indicator of how you think of yourself.

Childhood toys and what you thought about gender before you were 10 years old or so are pretty weak things to base weather or not your trans on.  Idea's of gender and how boys and girls are 'supposed to act' are really just years and years of society making up rules, not something based on hormones.  Most young children only know which toys they are supposed to like because parents and advertisers force it on them. 

I grew up with a purple bedroom that i picked out, and had a shelf full of collectable porcelain dolls, but I also prefered to  play with legos and build matchbox car tracks over playing with barbies, and my doll house became home base for the army men.

I dont think I really realized what being a girl vs being a boy actually meant until i was 7 or 8 years old and decided I wanted cooties if it meant I could play tag with the boys at recess.

lordKAT - you are so right, I never really looked at it that way.
Kyle, I couldn't agree more, I grew up in a pink and blue room - half/half, with a cute border of bears and such, I didn't choose it, but i'll never forget the day I came home from School and Mum had repainted the whole room sky blue, I was so upset!
