Thankyou for this revealing article. I was a Tom boy my whole young life. I had five brothers and was raised on a ranch where there were already three females running the household so I didn't get the pressure of having to learn more feminine behaviors. I had the usual teenage angst of feeling left out by girly groups but being angered by the boys dumping me to be with thier buddies. No one tried to dress me up as a girl. No one assumed I had a problem with sexual orientation.
I'm 66 now. A 40 year career as a Journeyman Boilermaker welder behind me. My handsome 47 year old son my proof of my femininity. Motorcycling, mechanics and gabbing with dear old female friends.
Let kids grow up and find thier own paths. Don't let others influence them one way or the other. We find our ways to a healthy compromise once our hormones have finally leveled off so we can see and think clearly.
My heart aches for kids who aren't being given the opportunities to focus on something other than themselves. They will one day look back and realize they had all the time in the world to just be kids, but society, thier doctors, schools and some parents were trying to force the issue.
