Changing with Time

I was really girly when I was little…I feel like a guy now. Don’t know what I’ll be in another twenty years.
What’s your experience?

I was pretty girly when I was little too. I’ve decided that doesn’t mean I was a girl back then, just that I was a pretty little fairy boy. :-)

As far as I know, I’ve always been more or less human, but people have identified me as all kinds of things I was not for most of my life. Some of them were male and some were female, it was confusing to me when I was younger. I minded some of the time. I changed my presentation some of the time. I belligerently stood my ground some of the time. In some of these situations, I changed and in some I changed others.

I know how you feel; it still amazes me that I agreed to wear dresses when I was younger and painted my room pink at the age of 4 or 5. But as you said, who knows where I’ll be later on in my life.

I was very girly as a child too. I’m really just figuring out whether or not I’m genderqueer, and my girliness as a child is a huge factor in that. On top of things like painting my nail frequently, wearing a lot of pink and playing with dolls ALL THE TIME, I also wanted the physical aspects of femininty. I wished daily for my breasts to grow, wanted desperately to get my period and wanted infinitely to shave my legs.
Yet now I find myself in a different place. I loathe my breasts at the moment and desperately envy those with flat chests. I do not wear a bra (except rarely, a sports bra, but only to bind) and do not shave.
I don’t even know where I am now, let alone where I will be.
