@futurebird I had so many feelings about this when I read it this morning. From birth my parents and their parents warred with each other over me and what I "should" be like. Mom would part my hair on one side and Grandma would reverse. schoolmates knew if I won the fight with my mom if I wasn't in a dress. Aunts would insist I needed to be more femme and stop trying to play with the boys or talk about important things with the men. I'm cis vanilla and I just wanted to be comfortable!
