As a young girl I really wanted to be a boy because I thought boys got all the "cool" toys and clothes. My mom responded by buying me said "cool" toys. If i wanted match box cars instead of a doll, i got it. Once, she bought me a barbie swimming pool, minus Barbie, so my action figures could hangout by the pool. She also let me wear my brothers hand me down shirts and jackets. I never wore "girly" clothes. I'm so happy i was born when i was and had a parent who let me dress and play with what i wanted without labeling me a boy.
