[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea. I'm 58, female, and have never felt girly. If I were a teen today, with all the open discussion and the variety of genders, I might feel agender. I have no strong gender identification at all. I'm just me.

But I have female friends who feel girly to their cores. There is no question for them. My son feels super masculine. No question for him either. I marvel at how people feel this so deeply.

And for that reason, whatever gender you identify with is cool with me. [/quote]

57 yo female here.

Ditto!

Sometime the expectation to dress “girly” bothers me, it definitely bothered me as a young person.

There are more choices now. I’m guessing I’m a “they” but there was no knowledge of that growing up.[/quote]

I'm 37, I'm not as much traditionally girly, but I don't view that personally as me being less of a "her", my version of being a woman is just as legitimate as some extremely feminine expression of being a woman.

But I acknowledge that's also my view and my choice and I don't discount anyone who feels differently.  Just asserting that I don't think I have to conform to whatever little box they sort stereotypes into for me to be a woman.[/quote]
