The Crazy Ideas: My BFF's Reasonings Behind Still Seeing Me As A Female.
Posted June 12th 2012 at 08:14 PM by George^^
As A Child, Played With Female Barbies = Still Female.
I have to admit it, as a child I was the one who played the female with barbies, I was the one that had all the little children and was constantly choosing all the cute clothing. And apparently for my friend, that is enough to say that I am a female
But, in my defense... I only owned about two different male dolls, which were either broken or lost. And besides, the girls had better clothing!
Another thing against that idea is, my cisgender brother use to play with female barbies, and still prefers to be a female in his video games, plus my uncle, who is plenty manly, use to do the same.
My Name = Female.
Wow. Well, I didn't get to choose my name. I was born into this world and then they decided "Hey, let's name this child _____."... Honestly? My mother has told me before if it wasn't for the fact that she didn't know what my name was in English until she had named me, I would have another name.
My female name when translated into English is Took. Yes... And people wonder why I want an old fashion normal name like George.
You Have Boobs = Your a Female.
Yes. Apparently she was "joking" when she asked why I don't like my boobs, but then there is the total idea that is implanted as boobs=female.
Also, despite the fact that I don't love my boobs nor hate them, I use to be all "I have big boobs!" (in a happy way).

George, I'm so sorry you are struggling with this. Your mother just doesn't understand, and that may take her some time. Bringing up the toys thing is so dumb, since I'm a cisgender female and I played with hot wheels my entire child hood, I love those things.
It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, or how stereotypically feminine/masculine your childhood toys were, what matters is how you feel. You deserve to feel okay, and to feel like you belong in this world for who you are. I'm here for you if you need to talk, I may not understand everthing because of my own priviledge of being cisgendered, but I can at least give you some hugs and promise you I have friends who have gone through it and it does get better. <3Posted June 13th 2012 at 08:17 AM by Coffee.

Thanks, it's actually my Best Friend, my mom doesn't know yet. It is dumb, especially since I was able to bring up my brother AND my uncle, who are both cisgender males. Hot Wheels are awesome, I was more interested in them than my brother was. - It's true, and thanks again <3. It's nice to have some help, also... Hopefully it does get better, way better.Posted June 13th 2012 at 06:36 PM by George^^
