The “girly girl-look” is just something society has created. We, women don’t have to look a certain way in order to feel like a real woman. Everyone is different.

[@Lissa71]

Exactly

[@erenjaeger1738]

Obviously not. It represents femininity for women.

[@lurklingX]

MAN but that stereotype is so ingrained tho. i think the difference with maybe nonbinary vs trans is just.... if you consider yourself in a society that's DIFFERENT, maybe diff standards or stereotypes, do you *still* feel like your gender is wrong, personally? i think a lot of people would say no. and that trans is a smaller percentage of people. and that these days for some reason a lot of people are being led to think almost anything divergent IS trans, and that's not the case. is it a fad? idk. it kinda looks that way and seems bizarre. trans i'd almost say is the roughest road, esp because surgery can be involved. so it's like.......... why skip over the evaluation of other conditions aside from trans, just based on invasiveness and struggle. my dudes, take the time to EVALUATE! :( it's so hard to watch people try to reverse. it's a struggle. esp if certain surgeries are done. hurts to watch.

I wear all clothes made for males and have since I was a child , still a woman , but I don’t feel like a woman ( how does one feel like a woman?)

[@craftwolzip5356]

What teenagers today aren’t being allowed to do is understand that almost all teenagers girls and boys, go through a difficult period when we are ‘transforming’ into adults! Some girls will never be ‘feminine’ in some ways and the same goes with boys and masculinity. That’s fine we figure it out as we go, as a teen I wasn’t a real tomboy but I wasn’t a ‘girly girl’ either but as the years went on I embraced my feminine traits. It takes years, decades to figure out who we are! I am 60 and still am 🤔.

[@nonawolf7495]

Moms don't realise the damage they inflict on their daughters when they chastise them for not being "girly" enough. It plants seeds of doubt in a young mind... Please parents - just love you kids for who they are - not who you want them to be. Praying for you, Maddy. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@laurac2783]

I think I start to get this madness. So instead of fighting stereotypes we are destroying kids to reinforce the stereotypes.

fellow detrans woman here, sending you so much love. religion had nothing to do with my detransition, but i’m happy you’ve found the path that’s right for you. congrats on becoming a mom!!

[@christinee3126]

Thank goodness my childhood was years ago, because i was a tomboy and wanted to be just like my older brothers. Today i probably would have been encouraged to transition. Luckily i was left alone and puberty made me realise i was okay being a girl, but I've never been a girly girl. I only wear a dress if i feel i should! Jeans and shorts all the way. It's evil what youngsters are being encouraged to do now.

[@Hope-zz9eq]

being a tomboy does not mean that a girl wants to be a boy. Hearing you talk about your childhood is a similar story many girls have without ever wanting to occupy a man's body.

[@streaming5332]

Exactly

[@TheCarportChronicles74]

Hey I’m very similar to you. Thankfully back in the ‘90s it wasn’t easy to learn about or get “treatment “. I grew up up farming with my dad, he was my favorite to spend time with, working on fixing machinery and I was running equipment on the farm as his (right hand man). I didn’t have a good relationship with my mom at all, but my 2 younger brothers did. I had terrible times I questioned God why he decided to make me a girl? To me it didn’t make sense. But I rocked the tomboy in high school and college too. I never fit in or related to the girls around me, they always seemed fake and “catty” to each other. But the boys were always my “friend’s only” guys they were truthful, fair and didn’t mind me hanging around with them. I had really hard times trying to date anybody and didn’t really have a serious relationship until 28 years old. I finally found my husband at 31, and we were old friends back in high school- one of the guys. Anyway thanks for sharing this! God had to help me be accepting of who and what I am and he made me perfect for HIS plans! lol my husband says he has the best of both worlds-a best friend to work on equipment, run a tractor and I have the right “parts” for a happy marriage 😉 he does buy me short skirt outfits, pantyhose (the indestructible type 😂) and cute shoes so I “go girly” for him when we go out on a date. This has helped me accept more of my femininity and how he treasures that part of me even though I don’t express it frequently. It does make me feel good when I dress up occasionally, but I still don’t do makeup and fancy hair…. I do me. Bless you and your family! I couldn’t imagine all you went through and hopefully my little story can encourage someone else too, to stick with Gods plan and trust Him, it gets better ❤

[@marieparker3822]

There is no one 'correct' way to be a girl or woman. There is no one 'correct' way to be a boy or a man. There is nothing wrong with being a 'tomboy' or 'butch' girl. There is nothing wrong with being a 'camp' boy. There is nothing wrong with being L, G or B.

[@JuneBug_87]

Amén.🙏🏿

[@Nspyrd]

I remember the first time my then young daughter came inside with tears as she had been called a "tomboy" and knew it was an insult but didn't know what it meant. That she hated dresses, dolls and "girly" things never occurred to me to reflect her gender identity. Instead, I explained to her that being a "tomboy" meant she was as fearless as a boy, unafraid of adventure. She went back outside and proudly proclaimed that "yes, she WAS a 'tomboy' and there was nothing they could do about it!" She's a grown woman now with children of her own and she STILL likes to fish, hunt, explore nature (bugs, critters, etc.)!

[@deniseganey6890]

This is exactly how everyone around us raised their children. No one made a big deal about it . Children have Thier very own interests and it's up to parents to quide and support. It's not all black and white. One extreme or another. Let kids learn and approach their world on their own accord . Help facilitate good self esteem by uplifting them . Up

I’m a woman that has been married 42 years to my husband. I worked along side my husband doing work that ‘men’ do. Hard labor. I know men who don’t or had not worked at the level I did. I know women that work like I did. Hard rough labor. But at the end of the day we’re still women and proud of that.

[@RomanGabewrongwayed]

Even tho I’m Trans and ACTUALLY sTrans- I believe this generation and the next to come are going to make LOTS of similar mistakes in this department!! There has never been a time where ppl are more depressed, mentally unstable, confused, looking to fill the void, addicted ECT I blame society’s collapse, technological advancement and lack of teaching the importance of fundamental self love acceptance kinship and emphasis on inner peace and self transformation! To Transcend enlightenment! Love and peace! Life is eternal, energy is unbroken & we know not what we do!

[@MegF142857]

I'm glad that I grew up when there was no such concept in society as transgender or ability to switch genders. I was also a tom boy type girl. I'm basically still a tom boy adult as an old married lady now. -- I hope young women learn they can just be themselves & not feel they need to conform to gender stereotypes. I don't think we can change our sex.

I’m currently transitioning and I’m being told to stop/de-transition. Thanks for sharing your story Maddy.

[@pollyester6639]

Please stop. You will grow into yourself. It’s timing. I had 4 brothers and felt lesser, rubbish, hated being a girl growing up. The future as a woman felt daunting. 22 I fell in love. A life time later good career moves, seen as strong an formidable woman. I now see that strength I wanted became mental strength. But dear friend I’m now in the menopause and the changes I’m am experiencing is what young transitioners will force their bodies into, sterility, oestoporosis, increased risk of stroke, atrophy and linked to bladder issues. If you are a female don’t do this.

[@shweefranglais7900]

A familiarly sad story. I'm glad you have realised that it is fine to be a female with masculine characteristics. Your story needs sharing. All detransitioner stories are helping to put this message out. I am not anti-trans as it works for some but for the majority it is not the answer as you have realised.

[@Exzeteos]

“For the majority it is not the answer”? Can you back that up with data?

[@FirstLast-dl8rt]

I don't think any of them can back it up with data, they are basically describing a man is a woman and vice versa since looks and biology don't matter

I'm from Eastern Europe raised in the 90'. I world never consider myself a tomboy, rather I always felt kind of girly, etc. And yet I LOVED and DID climb trees, play in woods, run around in nature, etc. I always find it so strange that so many Americans consider girls liking climbing trees tomboyish 😳. Is this a cultural thing? Can't girls in America climb trees and play in nature? To me, activities like that are absolutely genderless. 🤷‍♀️

[@stridersmythe8860]

VERY SIMPLE, you can be as you described, being girly yet climbing trees and masculine activities, thats a Tomboy. no insult no problem. Knew many Tomboys , no one cared.

[@joane24]

@@stridersmythe8860 Where I'm from a 'tomboy' would be a girl who had a more masculine behavior/'energy', just more masculine ways of acting. Climbing trees or just playing in nature was for both genders, girls were running around or climbing trees, and no one would ever consider that a 'masculine' activity. Soccer or playing guns/war, things like that, it would be masculine, but nature, never.

[@hinkle3634]

Sadly it's become increasingly more unpopular to let children play outside. Since the 90s sidewalks become empty and no one sends their kid to walk to the grocery store anymore. When people hear about a child gone missing in their state everyone thinks their kid will be next. Overly protective to the children's detriment honestly

I was a tomboy growing up and my best friend was a boy and I always wanted to do boy things and hated wearing dresses but not once did I even think of transitioning to a boy.

Same, I grew up with all brothers. Wanted nothing more than to be exactly like them. I'm glad we didn't have Google or pharmaceutical companies telling us we were men just bc we liked to play in the dirt and not wear dresses. Today I absolutely LOVE everything about being a woman and cherish the memories I had and continue to have with my brothers. If my childhood were today, Dr's would tell my mom that I should be a boy. They gotta make that $$. Women don't walk around in dresses, high heels, full make up, hair done everyday. Women are here in many forms. It depends on where your looking.

Also, as I got older, I became fine with and actually enjoy wearing dresses. That being said though, nothing truthful says you can't be a female if you don't like dresses.

[@siane2127]

Hi Maddy. That was interesting because you were exactly the same kind of young girl that i was. Not girly at all but feeling pressure to be feminine and lady-like. The difference between us is that I had these problems over 40 years ago! There were no options, no solutions, and of course no internet to help me feel less alone. In one way, I'm glad. If I had been faced with the opportunity to transition, I think I would also have chosen to do that. And it would have been the wrong option for me too. I'm 57 now, I have 4 kids (some probably older than you!) It's taken me my whole adult life to be ok with the kind of woman I am - a rather masculine one. But the best part of my life has been having my kids, I would have been lost so many times without them. Keep speaking out, please. Your courage and honesty is what some people need to hear right now.

We are not cookie-cutter we are beautiful individually wrapped. Being a women is not about the exterior presentation.. it's not pink clothes high heals or a passive personality.. it's most definitely not others expectation of us.... being a female born woman is not duplicatable its a "essence an energy and connection to a higher realm of spirituality" it's the ability to maintain balance in a storm... when centered in our core it's the ability see into the future, its humanity ... the essence of nurture... Seeing and hearing Abuse can create the necessity to withdraw our essence even become opposite to protect our selves.. feeling unsafe requires a persona of masculinity if there is no one to protect our hearts and bodies,. Because we all arrive with the ability to lean into masculinity, or femininity as a tool we use it. On a subconscious level, we are all just trying to survive in this world. We are designed perfectly in a ravenous world.

I started crying when you said, "I gave them the spirit of Love". That's EXACTLY what happened to me, except I was given the spirit of love. We are Christians and taught our children what the Bible says about homosexuals. When my daughter was in their Junior year of college, they either texted me or announced it on FB. It broke my heart because they had just been home two days earlier and didn't tell me face to face, even after I had told them while they were here that I would never stop loving them, no matter what, because I kind of suspected something like that. I cried so hard when I saw the text, that my youngest child thought that my mom had died or something like that. As a Christian, I didn't know what to do, so I cried out to God and asked Him what I should do because I couldn't see myself rejecting them in any way. I have a relationship with God and have had a relationship with God for at least 30+ years at that time, so I know His voice. And He said "As much as you love Hannah, I love her more." He had to say that to me twice because a week later I cried out to Him again regarding this (I don't know, maybe I thought He would give me a different answer?") and He said the same thing "Jennifer, as much as you love Hannah, I love her more." That TOTALLY set me free. It was like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders. I realized it is NOT my job to judge people, it IS my job to LOVE people. So God has given me a Spirit of Love and, I know a LOT of ministers of God, who truly love God, and have a relationship with God, and they have at least one child who is a homosexual. And they ALL have responded with that same Spirit of Love. And have accepted their children plus their partners in love. I still don't understand it, but we don't get to understand everything - we just get to obey and follow His leading. THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY - I'm still loving and believing this for my children.

@@missjhia I acknowledge that when I do all all you’ve listed,I am SINNING and have to repent ASP.

The day of reckoning is at hand and unfortunately many will be caught napping and unaware.

Your sharing was so important. Even to think about the labels that have been created lately and that are imprisoning us more than freeing us in the end.... and I think I come to the conclusion that label is an illusion of liberation... it is something that makes us feel belonging, but at the same time it is something that makes us try to fit into the pattern created for that label... in the end... the illusion that we have freed ourselves to be another, when we are again imprisoning ourselves in something else. I also feel that the terms masculine and feminine could no longer be used, as they adjectivize terms that are already adjectives in themselves. And what defines these terms shouldn't be used either. Wearing make-up is not feminine, just as wearing baggy pants is not masculine. Society has been shaping these names and trying to fit us in for millennia, but these patterns of fitting in change from era to era.... as in the Renaissance, wearing make-up and wigs was something that noble men and women did.... Anyway, it's very sad that they try to fit us into patterns and names... I've always been a person. A person who never quite fit in with what was imposed by “being a woman” or the standard of a body that should “be a man's”, and that's fine... but even so, the dysphoria came from the shapes my body took on, because in adolescence it changes a lot. It was only when I was 30 that I started to really like my body and no longer feel some of the dysphoria I used to feel about it...

Thx for being you and who you are. I've never been through what you have but I get you. This would be too long to share my experiences with people. Men being feminine and women that masculine are great people. I wish I'd known that when I was younger.

All of this is so sad. Let kids be kids and discover who they are at different stages of their lives. These should Not be decisions children make.

[@carlapierle8623]

You have an amazing testimony!!! You hit the nail on the head. God made you perfect the way you were born. I wish more kids would hear this truth over the rhetoric the devil is putting in activist's minds to spread over social media and in schools. I was a tomboy in the 60's and 70's. HATED being a girl. In today's environment they would have brainwashed me into thinking I needed to transition. I do feel like Christians get a bad reputation regarding acceptance of Trans, Gays and Lesbians because some do not know how to separate their love for the person from the person's actions. There is a way to demonstrate your love for someone without embracing or condoning their lifestyle. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Did you want a cock and balls? Perhaps a hairy chest?

[@raimeyewens7518]

I think a lot of tomboy type girls go through that. I remember puberty hitting me early when I was 10 and my mom giving me a bra and I hated it. Getting my period was a nightmare to me. I felt awkward and I didn’t like it. I’m thankful it was the 80’s and I didn’t have anyone in my ear trying to convince me I was really a boy. I got over that feeling and I’m definitely a woman. With so many detransitioners we see a lot of them just needed some time or therapy. Not medication and surgery.

[@carlapierle8623]

@@raimeyewens7518 Yes! I waited as long as possible before being forced to wear a bra. I never developed much over an "A" cup anyway. My mom didn't even tell me about periods! I was at school (7th grade) when I started and FREAKED OUT that I was bleeding. Fortunately I had friends who knew what was happening and calmed me down.

[@DorianPaige00]

@@raimeyewens7518 Did you want balls and a cock? How about a hairy chest and deep voice? I was male and borderline precocious as well but didn't grow out of it. And thankfully I was smart enough to be mild anorexic and curtail the growth spurt. If I didn't, I wouldn't have a transition to come back to and that's what all of you "wait it outers" want. I can just hear them. "Why would a grown-ass man want to be a woman? Who does he think he's foolin?" I male but I don't mourn the man I didn't become. Yes, there is discomfort but your not behind the door with the patient, therapist, and family. The point is that some of us are so uncomfortable with it that we can't function even after a few years or a decade or so. It shut me down as I'm not into penetrative sex in any capacity so I'm out. I had a rough early part of my life, want a romantic relationship, and now get shut out because I don't want to wank a load, or pop a cherry, or get buggered, or do the buggering. You think talking about this is vile; now you know how I feel. Perhaps I can't compartmentalize but I've talked and tried a dozen different psychologists with about half telling me not to mention what I mentioned in this paragraph. I guess I offended or perhaps hit an Achilles heel. Anyways I present as I always wanted which is as my youthful male self even at 47. I've had an orchiectomy and take estrogen as HRT and about as close to a modern day eunuch as you could get. Let psychologists do their job and don't tie their hands behind their back by legally removing the option of transgender medicine.

[@charliewhite7596]

We need more detransitoin videos. There is two sides to it that needs to be told

[@whoknows5145]

maybe you don’t see many detransition videos because it’s very uncommon, and the vast majority of people who transition medically are happier?

[@annestep6741]

I just watched your birth story and I am so happy for you. Thanks be to God! I pray you continue to have a wonderful, fulfilling life.

[@juanad5041]

Thank you so much for your story. I am so very, deeply happy for you, for knowing the love of Jesus, and also for finding out that you don't have to be anybody else's idea of a woman, that you can be your own, true self as a woman. I have your same, almost exact story (tomboy, deeply, painfully wanting to be a boy) but never transitioned and I did not take hormones because I'm a 70-year-old grandmother who did not live in an age when physical transitioning was available although a few famous people had surgically transitioned but they were practically unheard of, and almost freakish. So I lived my secret real identity only in my very real daydreams and fantasies my entire life, while outwardly walking through the motions of being a girl and then woman. But I became used to being that female because it became second nature (because I was acting that way all the time). And that female came to know Jesus in the hippy culture, got married to a wonderful guy, had three kids and many grandkids, all the while very attached secretly to my hidden boy world, until one day out of the blue, God lifted that boy part of me out of me, so gently and delicately that I didn't know it happened. I realized it days later, that I had not engaged in my secret boy world (deep, intense fantasy) or (even more shocking) I had not even thought of my secret boy self! It was truly a miracle! I don't know why God chose to do that when he did, just 10 years ago. I'd become a Christian when I was 19-years-old, so I'd been living that secret life all through my Christian life, and could not stop. I'm thankful for all God has done in my life, and so thankful for what he has done for you.

[@giraffezebra2698]

Thanks for sharing your story. You are so right. There is no one way to be a boy or to be a girl. There is nothing wrong with a woman with masculine traits or a man with feminine traits. This message needs to be shared, but unfortunately the activists have louder voices. US President Biden calls the activists parading around naked on the White House lawn “brave.” No, YOU are brave, and I pray that you and your daughter have a wonderful life. God bless you both.

[@yashathebelgianmalinois348]

I’m a 50 yr old female. Tom Boys were always accepted as the non girly, girls. Was never much an issue. Like anyone, it was more about personality, activities they participated in, and the circle of friends they had that mattered. Today, gender issues are pushed in society much harder and kids feel pressure to choose at a time when they are just learning about life and themselves.

[@buzzinglee]

except gender issues aren’t, the entire movement is to make people feel welcome and not like they’re forced to choose one or the other. it’s about self expression ☠️

[@janetpatterson7915]

You needed an actual adult to tell you that your childhood was completely normal. I am a woman and as a girl I played in the mud, climb trees, fought with my brother, the list goes on, but I always knew I was a girl!! what the heck is going on now? It’s normal for girls to be girly and also rough around the edges. It’s called life.

I think you have to love her the way she is now, whether she ends up transitioning or not. Going against her/him is only going to strain the relationship.

God is already using you on such a huge scale... just by bringing everyone your story. Continue on this beautiful path. Be the change you want to see in the world, just as Jesus led by example, so too are you. The more WE live good lives and treat ppl the way we want to be treated the more they will follow suit. You are beautiful, you are worthy and above all else... YOU ARE LOVED! Sending you so much love and keeping you in my prayers, all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

[@ace6285]

I’d say I had much of the same preferences as a kid and a teenager. however, I never thought I had to conform to the ‘girly-girl’ style or interests. I felt it a challenge to present myself as I felt natural to me and that as I was a female, it was up to others to accept me as I was. Still do. Like everyone, I have had mixed acceptance throughout life. Who hasn’t? No surgery, no pharmaceuticals, no alterations of any sort. Stay away from experts. Be yourself.

Thanks for sharing your story. I went through a phase of thinking maybe I was trans MtF. I lived as a woman for 2 years, took estrogen, ect. But I realized what I really was is lonely and not dysphoria. I since detransitioned.

[@peterbartha6640]

Maybe nobody is reading but I'll tell you anyway... Im 6.56 feet tall, very masculine, straight man, doing manly jobs, things in my entire life. I've never attracted to women with classic woman shapes, like big boobs, big booty, etc. I even feel these a little bit strange and like "what should I do with it". I love tiny booties, and small boobs and I don't think I'm alone with this. I like feminine, soft, gentle women, but I also like tomboy girls too, and always found them attractive in every way. So girls out there, don't shame yourself, don't change yourself and don't listen to the mainstreem, the world is not what they are telling you! God bless you all!

[@abrahamlincoln3699]

We use to call this being a Tomboy!!! I’m in my 50’s and I was a major tomboy including wearing button down shirts and pants.. We were taught you didn’t care about what people thought so no big deal, sticks and stones I was first female to play on boys city basketball and so on.. Lots of fist fights.. But I always knew God did not make mistakes so if he made me this way it was for a purpose!!! He needed me to be a strong female.. think about the pioneer women or female police officers.. As it turns out I produce too much testosterone and my daughter has the same thing.. I never considered it a problem but rather apart of who I am.. You have a purpose!! He created you specifically this was so you could handle what he has for you.. Hang in there.. Focus on the strengths he gave you.. My daughter turned out to be a police officer and she is Great at it .. I’m proud of you for stopping and listening to God.. Hang in there and your path will become clear..

”Tom boy” is such a weird expression in english! I live in Europe and speak 6 languages, but there’s no similar expression in any of them. It ’s also so sad that real, wild and absolutely normal women feel ”wrong” if they aren’t interested in makeup and showing of their bodies - I think it’s partly an effect of media etc. brainwashing about how women should look like and behave all sexy. Interesting story of self discovery, you are amazing! All the best 🙌

[@pamlacooper3288]

Thank you Maddy. It’s a thing I went through in my head only. I remember wanting to be a boy at that age. At some point I realized that it was a rebellion to the restrictions of being a girl. I knew at 10 years of age that to be a woman was a disadvantage. Relatable in my small way, thank you again.

[@nmartin5551]

Absolutely! Most places, people and times, males have the better deal! But I’m from a time when the transition thing was extremely rare. That isn’t all bad, now that we see this trend. But I’m in the camp that you shouldn’t be allowed to change your body and hormones until you have actually approached sexual maturity. Nobody gives a crap what I think, but adolescence is a disaster at the best of times. How can you make life choices at that time.

[@marydickey1350]

Wow. What an amazing story. What courage to tell your story. Keep your ears tuned to Christ and your relationship with him strong. You will be able to face anything.

[@suidelikeson21]

I was born in the 80s. I always felt like a tomboy. I scrapped with the boys, i played football, I belched and found it hilarious, I played with cars, I used to have mostly male friends. I only wore boy clothes including boxer shorts. I hated make up, the colour pink and barbies. When I had to wear a dress to my communion I was so unhappy, in every photo I have a face like a smacked arse. I looked in the mirror and saw a boy. I always wondered what it would be like to pee standing up. I was terried when my breats started developing and started menstruating. I'm sure if I was a teen nowadays I would be pressured into transitioning. But now I'm almost 40, I'm comfortable in my own skin. I now have a 12 year old and couldn't imagine a life without him. I still wear boxers, don't wear dresses or make up. I don't enjoy "girly nights out" (I'd rather sit at home and have a beer and play my console. I still enjoy football and rough with my son. 90% of teens go through a phase where they question their gender. It is a normal part of growing up. Our bodies are changing and it's scary. I'm not saying gender dysphoria doesn't exist. It does. But transsexuals and transgender to me mean to different things. Transsexuals do everything they can to blend into society as the opposite sex and most of the time they are successful. But it seems the transgender movement just scream for acceptance without acknowledging the fact that acceptance and respect swing boths ways. Swings and roundabouts. They demand but are unwilling to accept that other views and feelings are just as valid. Just live your life as you wish, you don't need to holla to the world about it. Also the movement scares me. They are mutilating and sterilising some of the most vulnerable people in society. Let them mature first so they can make informed decisions for themselves

You’re absolutely right! You were made just the way God wanted you. God doesn’t make mistakes and he doesn’t make garbage!

If you’re into things that are more “boyish”, so what. That doesn’t make you any less of a girl. I’m very happy for you! The love of God and Jesus Christ is an amazing thing isn’t it? You are indeed perfect just the way you are! Don’t ever let anything or anyone make you feel like you are less than or not good enough, because that is just plain wrong! You do you and live your life, if anyone has a problem with who you are, that’s their issue, not yours.
