Having written a bit of an introduction last month which given the sluggish nature of the internet around here I thought I would write something about the duality of being as it affects how I am.
This is a fairly straightforward gender typical set of presentations of the sort I was used to in infants and juniors many moons ago.
Girls wore skirts (or dresses) and boys like me wore short trousers which back then believe me were short and at our school it was a fairly simple uniform with no caps and blazers and we did were dress shirts (or blouses for girls) rather than polo tops.
That presentation is fairly free of gender stereotypes other than the whole skirts/short trousers thing where girls in time become able to wear trousers and parental ("he's big boy now") pressure pushed older boys also into (long) trousers.
To be honest I had no big issue with with wearing short trousers and still do but I positively hate wearing long ones and did like to wear skirts too.
That was an issue then and even for a number today with fairly gender neutral uniforms that still is an issue.
Why not make skirts or skorts an option for both boys and girls?
As someone who is very much mentally a child the way I present is more in line with actual children, never "sexy" or "edgy"
All of that is gender presentation, the way you express it through dress but you may express it through play but how that balance between my masculine core and the feminine side alters in real time affecting how I see and feel things too.
It's not like you have a switch between the two but they move and blend making me, well me.
I'm just a sissy gurl really not a transgender.
