[QUOTE="Dove, post: 723783, member: 535"] There was this really frustrating day of clothes shopping when she was in the 6th or 7th grade. She was constantly trying to shop in the boys section. This whole incident....I wont get into it too much but it climaxed in the van with me explaining to her that it's okay for girls to not like stereotypical "girl stuff" and still be a girl. The amount of relief this kid felt was ridiculous guys. She had been stressing her fucking GENDER. Unbeknownst to me of course. I had NO CLUE this was a thing with gen z. And I was a bigger tom boy than she was. Growing up all my friends were boys. That was almost all that lived in the neighborhood I grew up in. I played soccer on an all boys team. I was constantly covered in bruises. I was allowed access to boys forts and I was sitting there when they bashed girls and one told me "youre not really a girl though" and none of that was a good thing at all because puberty was fucking traumatic and isolating for me. Did NOT help that I grew up attractive. All my besties morphed into.....well.... males. Lol. I made damn sure my daughters played with other girls. My oldest just went ahead and extended that subscription lol. [/QUOTE]
