    The “girly girl-look” is just something society has created. We, women don’t have to look a certain way in order to feel like a real woman. Everyone is different.

      MAN but that stereotype is so ingrained tho. i think the difference with maybe nonbinary vs trans is just.... if you consider yourself in a society that's DIFFERENT, maybe diff standards or stereotypes, do you *still* feel like your gender is wrong, personally?
      i think a lot of people would say no. and that trans is a smaller percentage of people. and that these days for some reason a lot of people are being led to think almost anything divergent IS trans, and that's not the case.
      is it a fad? idk. it kinda looks that way and seems bizarre. trans i'd almost say is the roughest road, esp because surgery can be involved. so it's like.......... why skip over the evaluation of other conditions aside from trans, just based on invasiveness and struggle. my dudes, take the time to EVALUATE! :( it's so hard to watch people try to reverse. it's a struggle. esp if certain surgeries are done. hurts to watch.

    What teenagers today aren’t being allowed to do is understand that almost all teenagers girls and boys, go through a difficult period when we are ‘transforming’ into adults! Some girls will never be ‘feminine’ in some ways and the same goes with boys and masculinity. That’s fine we figure it out as we go, as a teen I wasn’t a real tomboy but I wasn’t a ‘girly girl’ either but as the years went on I embraced my feminine traits. It takes years, decades to figure out who we are! I am 60 and still am 🤔.

      Please stop. You will grow into yourself. It’s timing. I had 4 brothers and felt lesser, rubbish, hated being a girl growing up. The future as a woman felt daunting. 22 I fell in love. A life time later good career moves, seen as strong an formidable woman. I now see that strength I wanted became mental strength. But dear friend I’m now in the menopause and the changes I’m am experiencing is what young transitioners will force their bodies into, sterility, oestoporosis, increased risk of stroke, atrophy and linked to bladder issues. If you are a female don’t do this.

    I remember the first time my then young daughter came inside with tears as she had been called a "tomboy" and knew it was an insult but didn't know what it meant. That she hated dresses, dolls and "girly" things never occurred to me to reflect her gender identity. Instead, I explained to her that being a "tomboy" meant she was as fearless as a boy, unafraid of adventure. She went back outside and proudly proclaimed that "yes, she WAS a 'tomboy' and there was nothing they could do about it!" She's a grown woman now with children of her own and she STILL likes to fish, hunt, explore nature (bugs, critters, etc.)!

    I'm from Eastern Europe raised in the 90'. I world never consider myself a tomboy, rather I always felt kind of girly, etc. And yet I LOVED and DID climb trees, play in woods, run around in nature, etc. I always find it so strange that so many Americans consider girls liking climbing trees tomboyish 😳. Is this a cultural thing? Can't girls in America climb trees and play in nature? To me, activities like that are absolutely genderless. 🤷‍♀️

      Climbing trees or just playing in nature was for both genders, girls were running around or climbing trees, and no one would ever consider that a 'masculine' activity.

I'm glad we didn't have Google or pharmaceutical companies telling us we were men just bc we liked to play in the dirt and not wear dresses. Today I absolutely LOVE everything about being a woman and cherish the memories I had and continue to have with my brothers. If my childhood were today, Dr's would tell my mom that I should be a boy. They gotta make that $$. Women don't walk around in dresses, high heels, full make up, hair done everyday. Women are here in many forms. It depends on where your looking.

    When I was five, I prayed to be turned into a boy. I was sick of dresses and being ladylike and having long hair. I didn’t really get along well with girls. Most of my best friends were boys, throughout my entire life.
    I wasn’t turned into a boy, of course. I grew out of wanting to change, though I didn’t embrace everything girly. Until I was probably 13 or so, I wore baggy clothes. When I was 16, I pretty much stopped wearing dresses to church. Dresses just aren’t my thing. I have been judged for that, but I don’t care. I’ve had people call up my mother-in-law and ask if I needed a dress so I could dress up for church. That probably wasn’t meant to be insulting, but it felt insulting at the time. I would have made a terrible man. As I recall, I never wanted to be a man. I just wanted to be a boy.
    It wasn’t until I was grown that I found out that I have autism. That helped to explain why I couldn’t easily make friends, and why I’d had all sorts of trouble throughout the years. I am glad to be who I am, and I also know that I don’t have to live up to anyone else’s idea of what I should be as a woman. Now, I will never be a girly girl, but I do take pleasure in showing off my curves sometimes. Not to a disgusting extent, but tastefully so. I don’t normally do anything with makeup (not even cover up). I don’t do much with my hair. I’m much more likely to wear t-shirts and jeans than a skirt and blouse. My husband doesn’t mind, my cats don’t mind, and my little boy doesn’t mind. They all like me the way I am. That’s more than can be said for some other relatives.
    I’m glad you had the courage to do the right thing. God bless you!

      We are not cookie-cutter we are beautiful individually wrapped.
      Being a women is not about the exterior presentation.. it's not pink clothes high heals or a passive personality.. it's most definitely not others expectation of us.... being a female born woman is not duplicatable its a "essence an energy and connection to a higher realm of spirituality" it's the ability to maintain balance in a storm... when centered in our core it's the ability see into the future, its humanity ... the essence of nurture...
      Seeing and hearing Abuse can create the necessity to withdraw our essence even become opposite to protect our selves.. feeling unsafe requires a persona of masculinity if there is no one to protect our hearts and bodies,. Because we all arrive with the ability to lean into masculinity, or femininity as a tool we use it.
      On a subconscious level, we are all just trying to survive in this world.
      We are designed perfectly in a ravenous world.

    Hi Maddy. That was interesting because you were exactly the same kind of young girl that i was. Not girly at all but feeling pressure to be feminine and lady-like.
    The difference between us is that I had these problems over 40 years ago! There were no options, no solutions, and of course no internet to help me feel less alone.
    In one way, I'm glad. If I had been faced with the opportunity to transition, I think I would also have chosen to do that. And it would have been the wrong option for me too.
    I'm 57 now, I have 4 kids (some probably older than you!)
    It's taken me my whole adult life to be ok with the kind of woman I am - a rather masculine one.
    But the best part of my life has been having my kids, I would have been lost so many times without them.
    Keep speaking out, please. Your courage and honesty is what some people need to hear right now.

    I started crying when you said, "I gave them the spirit of Love". That's EXACTLY what happened to me, except I was given the spirit of love. We are Christians and taught our children what the Bible says about homosexuals. When my daughter was in their Junior year of college, they either texted me or announced it on FB. It broke my heart because they had just been home two days earlier and didn't tell me face to face, even after I had told them while they were here that I would never stop loving them, no matter what, because I kind of suspected something like that. I cried so hard when I saw the text, that my youngest child thought that my mom had died or something like that. As a Christian, I didn't know what to do, so I cried out to God and asked Him what I should do because I couldn't see myself rejecting them in any way. I have a relationship with God and have had a relationship with God for at least 30+ years at that time, so I know His voice. And He said "As much as you love Hannah, I love her more." He had to say that to me twice because a week later I cried out to Him again regarding this (I don't know, maybe I thought He would give me a different answer?") and He said the same thing "Jennifer, as much as you love Hannah, I love her more." That TOTALLY set me free. It was like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders. I realized it is NOT my job to judge people, it IS my job to LOVE people. So God has given me a Spirit of Love and, I know a LOT of ministers of God, who truly love God, and have a relationship with God, and they have at least one child who is a homosexual. And they ALL have responded with that same Spirit of Love. And have accepted their children plus their partners in love. I still don't understand it, but we don't get to understand everything - we just get to obey and follow His leading. THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY - I'm still loving and believing this for my children.

    Thank you so much for your story. I am so very, deeply happy for you, for knowing the love of Jesus, and also for finding out that you don't have to be anybody else's idea of a woman, that you can be your own, true self as a woman. I have your same, almost exact story (tomboy, deeply, painfully wanting to be a boy) but never transitioned and I did not take hormones because I'm a 70-year-old grandmother who did not live in an age when physical transitioning was available although a few famous people had surgically transitioned but they were practically unheard of, and almost freakish. So I lived my secret real identity only in my very real daydreams and fantasies my entire life, while outwardly walking through the motions of being a girl and then woman. But I became used to being that female because it became second nature (because I was acting that way all the time). And that female came to know Jesus in the hippy culture, got married to a wonderful guy, had three kids and many grandkids, all the while very attached secretly to my hidden boy world, until one day out of the blue, God lifted that boy part of me out of me, so gently and delicately that I didn't know it happened. I realized it days later, that I had not engaged in my secret boy world (deep, intense fantasy) or (even more shocking) I had not even thought of my secret boy self! It was truly a miracle! I don't know why God chose to do that when he did, just 10 years ago. I'd become a Christian when I was 19-years-old, so I'd been living that secret life all through my Christian life, and could not stop. I'm thankful for all God has done in my life, and so thankful for what he has done for you.

It ’s also so sad that real, wild and absolutely normal women feel ”wrong” if they aren’t interested in makeup and showing of their bodies - I think it’s partly an effect of media etc. brainwashing about how women should look like and behave all sexy.

    What an amazing story. One great thing about being a parent and ongoing sanctification, is that you can identify the mistakes your parents made and do your best to do better for your kids, with all the humble hope that they will do better for their kids as well. Thanks for sharing a part of your story. And remember: parenting is building and creating. It has always done a better job for me at satisfying that creative urge that music, the arts or in your case: androgyny and trans may have temporarily have filled. You are able to build the culture within your own home and give the very best parts of you to your children. I wish you all the best.

    I pretty much had the same experience. I stumbled upon a trans video in 2016 and I also binged them. I was 10 years old at the time. I ended up dressing the way I wanted to and it’s not like I suddenly didn’t want to transition anymore, but I ended growing out of the life goal of becoming a guy. I’m very happy now actually and I don’t regret anything. I’m not feminine and I’ll probably never be very feminine but I like the way I am now and I did it by myself. No pronouns can make me happier

    You’re absolutely right! You were made just the way God wanted you. God doesn’t make mistakes and he doesn’t make garbage! You are a beautiful person and you absolutely don’t have to be “girly” to be a girl. Girls can do anything they want, be anything that want and act the way they want. If you’re into things that are more “boyish”, so what. That doesn’t make you any less of a girl. I’m very happy for you! The love of God and Jesus Christ is an amazing thing isn’t it? You are indeed perfect just the way you are! Don’t ever let anything or anyone make you feel like you are less than or not good enough, because that is just plain wrong! You do you and live your life, if anyone has a problem with who you are, that’s their issue, not yours.

    You have a child. Amazing! You should be happy and proud. And I'm so sorry for your other family. They shunned you and shamed you and kept you away from your siblings because of their beliefs. They made your life so much worse and so much more difficult. I'm so sorry for that. But as time goes on, never forget...you can transition again. You can be who you want to be. You can raise your children how you want to. You don't have to be hateful like your parents (I'm not saying you are). But don't let the hate of others stop you from being you. You are strong. You are beautiful. Just be your authentic self and that makes the world a better place for you and for all :)

    We use to call this being a Tomboy!!! I’m in my 50’s and I was a major tomboy including wearing button down shirts and pants.. We were taught you didn’t care about what people thought so no big deal, sticks and stones
    I was first female to play on boys city basketball and so on.. Lots of fist fights.. But I always knew God did not make mistakes so if he made me this way it was for a purpose!!! He needed me to be a strong female.. think about the pioneer women or female police officers..
    As it turns out I produce too much testosterone and my daughter has the same thing.. I never considered it a problem but rather apart of who I am.. You have a purpose!! He created you specifically this was so you could handle what he has for you.. Hang in there.. Focus on the strengths he gave you.. My daughter turned out to be a police officer and she is Great at it ..
    I’m proud of you for stopping and listening to God.. Hang in there and your path will become clear..

    You have an amazing testimony!!! You hit the nail on the head. God made you perfect the way you were born. I wish more kids would hear this truth over the rhetoric the devil is putting in activist's minds to spread over social media and in schools. I was a tomboy in the 60's and 70's. HATED being a girl. In today's environment they would have brainwashed me into thinking I needed to transition. I do feel like Christians get a bad reputation regarding acceptance of Trans, Gays and Lesbians because some do not know how to separate their love for the person from the person's actions. There is a way to demonstrate your love for someone without embracing or condoning their lifestyle. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

      I think a lot of tomboy type girls go through that. I remember puberty hitting me early when I was 10 and my mom giving me a bra and I hated it. Getting my period was a nightmare to me. I felt awkward and I didn’t like it. I’m thankful it was the 80’s and I didn’t have anyone in my ear trying to convince me I was really a boy. I got over that feeling and I’m definitely a woman. With so many detransitioners we see a lot of them just needed some time or therapy. Not medication and surgery.

      I was male and borderline precocious as well but didn't grow out of it. And thankfully I was smart enough to be mild anorexic and curtail the growth spurt. If I didn't, I wouldn't have a transition to come back to and that's what all of you "wait it outers" want. I can just hear them. "Why would a grown-ass man want to be a woman? Who does he think he's foolin?" I male but I don't mourn the man I didn't become. Yes, there is discomfort but your not behind the door with the patient, therapist, and family. The point is that some of us are so uncomfortable with it that we can't function even after a few years or a decade or so. It shut me down as I'm not into penetrative sex in any capacity so I'm out. I had a rough early part of my life, want a romantic relationship, and now get shut out because I don't want to wank a load, or pop a cherry, or get buggered, or do the buggering. You think talking about this is vile; now you know how I feel. Perhaps I can't compartmentalize but I've talked and tried a dozen different psychologists with about half telling me not to mention what I mentioned in this paragraph. I guess I offended or perhaps hit an Achilles heel.
      Anyways I present as I always wanted which is as my youthful male self even at 47. I've had an orchiectomy and take estrogen as HRT and about as close to a modern day eunuch as you could get. Let psychologists do their job and don't tie their hands behind their back by legally removing the option of transgender medicine.

    I’d say I had much of the same preferences as a kid and a teenager. however, I never thought I had to conform to the ‘girly-girl’ style or interests. I felt it a challenge to present myself as I felt natural to me and that as I was a female, it was up to others to accept me as I was. Still do. Like everyone, I have had mixed acceptance throughout life. Who hasn’t? No surgery, no pharmaceuticals, no alterations of any sort. Stay away from experts. Be yourself.

    I was born in the 80s. I always felt like a tomboy. I scrapped with the boys, i played football, I belched and found it hilarious, I played with cars, I used to have mostly male friends. I only wore boy clothes including boxer shorts. I hated make up, the colour pink and barbies. When I had to wear a dress to my communion I was so unhappy, in every photo I have a face like a smacked arse. I looked in the mirror and saw a boy. I always wondered what it would be like to pee standing up. I was terried when my breats started developing and started menstruating. I'm sure if I was a teen nowadays I would be pressured into transitioning. But now I'm almost 40, I'm comfortable in my own skin. I now have a 12 year old and couldn't imagine a life without him. I still wear boxers, don't wear dresses or make up. I don't enjoy "girly nights out" (I'd rather sit at home and have a beer and play my console. I still enjoy football and rough with my son. 90% of teens go through a phase where they question their gender. It is a normal part of growing up. Our bodies are changing and it's scary. I'm not saying gender dysphoria doesn't exist. It does. But transsexuals and transgender to me mean to different things. Transsexuals do everything they can to blend into society as the opposite sex and most of the time they are successful. But it seems the transgender movement just scream for acceptance without acknowledging the fact that acceptance and respect swing boths ways. Swings and roundabouts. They demand but are unwilling to accept that other views and feelings are just as valid. Just live your life as you wish, you don't need to holla to the world about it.
    Also the movement scares me. They are mutilating and sterilising some of the most vulnerable people in society. Let them mature first so they can make informed decisions for themselves
