Shoot, when I was a kid, those of us who preferred jeans to dresses, and playing in the woods to frilly tea parties (I didn’t mind tea parties, as long as there wasn’t too much fancy-ness or dressing up required) were called tomboys. Not, boys.

We were still very much girls. And we knew it. Sometimes, perhaps, we wished for a moment or two that maybe we had been boys, for then no one would expect us to act “lady-like.” We could get away with flopping our bodies however we wanted across the living room furniture, without worrying about “sitting like a lady.” (Now as an adult, I understand why we want a certain amount of decorum in how our young ladies seat themselves on said furniture.)

But never did we actually think we should become boys. Or that there was some mistake in our bodies.

No, we knew that for whatever reason, God had created us as girls. And girls we were, and women we would become. And we kept playing in the woods and getting dirty with our brothers, if we were fortunate enough have some, and eventually became comfortable even with a little bit of dress up every now and again.
