Re: When did gender become a thing for you?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-09 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
On thinking back around age 4 or 5. I was always a really rough kid, always got dirty, had short hair, got apparently asked if I was a boy by all the adults and gleefully in love with the idea. My biggest dream back then was always to be like selected favourite characters when I grew up, all of them boys.
The first direct confrontation with that was in first grade at age 6 when I wanted to use the bathroom the first time and a girl asked me at the door if I was a boy (and refused me entry if not).
Until about 13 I got into a phase at once violently hating 'girly' stuff (the color pink, skirts, kitsch, cutesy stuff) and at the same time becoming more girlish looking.
And after that I somehow realized that it really doesn't matter for who I am. Though I still can't help smiling when somebody confuses me for a boy (rare as it is).
