I was gender non-conforming too, but a lot of the clothes I didn't like to wear as a child were impractical ones, namely skirts and dresses that I wouldn't be able to play around in as robustly, as it would reveal my underwear. Imagine being a child at school and seeing boys' pants halfway down their knees half the time and not understanding why that's okay, but girls couldn't play on monkey bars or swings lest someone (boys or adults ugh) sees their knickers.

Even throughout late childhood/early adolescence, I fought my mom into not wanting to wear dresses. Late adolescence was when I got over that, but I still prefer wearing pants over dresses.

Same here. Although I do like dresses or skirts if they have big pockets, which seems to be a (lovely) trend these days ☺️

I love dresses and skirts with big pockets as well!
