My mom asked, "Why would you want to do that when you could become a butch lesbian instead?"

My dad said this to me the other day as well 

When I was younger I had some crazy thoughts. I was about 8 years old when I first saw a transsexual documentary on TV, I actually became really interested in the sex change idea. I always wanted to meet a transsexual person in real life and ask whether they liked being a boy or a girl better Wow, I was clueless! I always thought I could just change into a boy and then back into a girl again one day through an operation just to see what it was like 

Oh boy. Hmmm.

Got lots of "but you do all this manly ->-bleeped-<-" and "You're just confused."

But the best one was "Yeah I mean I thought of that when I was a kid and didn't do anything about it."

Which was kind of sad and awkward...

"You can't be transgender because it's obvious you don't have a lot of male hormones, I mean, your sister has more facial hair than you!"

Umm yeah, that's what we need prescriptions for.

That's like... half educated at least?

o.O

If you can' show this video you your Dad/Mom/other.

My dad told me I can't be a guy because I'm too sweet, gentle, sympathetic, feminine, nice, pretty, caring, calm, etc. Traits that according to him are "female-only." :|

I have a couple:

From my (ex) therapist:  "Are you sure you aren't just a butch lesbian?" 
My reply....: "That would require liking girls...which I don't..." 

My mother: "But you used to love wearing dresses when you were little...and you like to sew! And all your other female hobbies...."
Me: "I was five the last time I wore a dress. And I like to make COSTUMES. And what other girl hobbies?"
Her response: ".....um......"

Random comment...when I was little, I did like to wear floofy dresses because when I twirled, I liked to imagine I could fly like a bird if I went fast enough! Lol. I still want to get my pilot's license someday....

Reminds me of my folks and me:
Mother: "But you played soccer when you were a kid!"
Me: "You MADE me play soccer. I wanted to stay home and watch cartoons."
Mother "But you seemed to enjoy it..."
Me: "I used to run around the field a pretend I was an aeroplane. I didn't give a crap about the game."

That's funny, in the US soccer is considered a girls game.

And so is rugby, iirc.
Which is hilarious, because American Football (Grid Iron) is considered a girl's game here 

After the way they canceled the NFL game in Philly the other night because of snow we're starting to think the same thing here.

That's why I prefer Ultimate because it's pretty much gender neutral.

I wouldn't exactly say that. It's neutral. Just not anywhere as popular as football. At my high school there wasn't even a girls soccer team.

Reminds me of sports at school, all the girls got to sit on the sideline and talk while I was made to play soccer.
I was like right, I hate this game, let's make it as painful for everyone else involved.
Didn't matter if the guy with the ball was on my team or not, if I could get close to him I would kick him over the Knees, watch the face plant, then run all I could as he was getting up.
