Action Man? G.I. Joe? What's that? Bwahahahaaaa! Yeah, I loved G.I. Joe, Transformers, etc, etc, etc. But, like I suspect was the case for you, my "tomboyish-ness" went far deeper than just playing with "boy" toys and not liking "girl" clothes. I truly thought of myself as a boy mentally. I knew I wasn't, and I never wanted to change myself physically, but in my mind, even now, when I think back on my childhood, I realize that I hear "when I was a little boy" in my head if I'm honest

I know who he is! :) Oh! I wonder if I can find that website that has all the UK G.I. Joe comics online again...hm...I don't think I bookmarked it, but...let me dig a bit.

Well, my first reaction is "Hey, that's cool." Mostly, what I think is "cool" is the notion of a friend of mine taking a good long stride forward in recognising/understanding a part of the self that can be dreadfully slippery

I have one friend who identifies as genderqueer, so I am familiar with this type of thing, and you're right - both in that the terminology can get very confusing and that I don't go quite that far into the realm of "masculine" stuff. I would agree, for the most part, that I am a butch woman, but not in the full on look like a man way that is most often associated with that word. I haven't been confused for a male in many, many years, though I often was as a child and occasionally was until high school

Your recent post sent me back to re-read this one. Here's another song for you:
