I guess I'm kinda lucky. My grandma, who pretty much has been a mom to me most of my life, never tried to force me to be girly. She accepts me for who I am for the most part, and I think that's why I was able to grow into the person I am today.

My school, on the other hand....yeah. Elementary school was fun. Had to talk to the counselor about why I was fine playing the "right" way with the dolls and kitchenette set one day and then insisted on things "too boyish" for me the next day, like kickball and Hotwheels. Or why I'd be fine with dressing like a proper little girl one day, then looking like a boy the next. THat went on from kindergarten till third grade....didn't see what the big deal was then, and I still don't. 9_9

Luckily, it was only the teachers. The kids around me, especially my friends, didn't see anything wrong with it. Some thought it was weird, but I didn't get any hating for it.
