Oh me too! At 11, I had a popular boy at school tell me that the boys don't like me because I didn't "act like a girl". That sure threw me into an identity crisis, because if I can't be who I am, how can I be someone else? Fortunately, I grew out of that phase eventually and am now a beautiful, feminine mother of 3 and grandma of 8. Just be comfortable as who you were created, and tell anyone who doesn't like how you are to pound sand. We grow and evolve. Take care of your own proclivities.

⬆️ This!!

It’s funny though because the alphabet people keep saying others have to accept them as they are, when *they* don’t even accept themselves as they were made.
