Awkward
I need some advice here. I've been awkward when wearing feminine clothes such as dresses and skirts since I was five years old. Ever since I have lost a lot of weight, people including some female relatives were asking me to show off my body when I am comfortable with my BDUs, PT shirts, blue jeans, etc. etc. I'm stereotypically known as a tomboy due to my masculinity and that doesn't bother me a bit. I also understand that these people could just be offering suggestions. It is hard being a masculine female as it is and being slim for that matter after being two-hundred thirty pounds back in June for medical reasons. I like that people are not bullying me for being this way. I have had many suggestions that I should "pretty" myself up or in other words dress more feminine.

That's okay man. Believe it or not that's the way I've developed. Good point there. We're all different physically, personality, and all over. My mother hasn't always approved of my masculinity but over the years, she has began to realize I am different and that we have something in common. She says she's sorry and why she did all of that was because she wanted a daughter who :)d to wear make up or acted like a girl.

I don't hate you or anything. Just because I may say the two words 'girly girl(s)' it usually means I refer to a feminine person. However, not all girly girls are bad. It's just a little difficult for me to accept them. Truly, I think some of them are cute, no offense. Actually, I could say I could learn something from them.

Emily, everyone is different. I really wanted to be a boy to win the :) of my father. He hated girls and nothing I could do would make him do much more than barely notice me. He still barely knows I'm alive. But I was cursed with a very feminine body which I was able to hide for many years with short hair, baggy clothes but at some point my body started to ready curve and the breasts... I hated it... I saw my guy friends looking at them and just wanted to die. Then suddenly my mom throws me into a short skirt with virtually nothing to wear under it! I mean I'd been wearing boys briefs under my t-boy clothes and suddenly I had little tiny tiny panties that were all shear. I felt naked and I sure gave the guys enough to look at for a while as I struggled to figure out how to wear a skirt. I was very stuck though. I had no money to buy different clothes and my mom checked on me to make sure I was wearing them at school. She had friends there. If I tried to change into something at school she would have found out.

Anyway that was life... Not much I could do about it. But frankly for me it was a good thing. While I hated it at the time, was so embarrassed all the time. I really did like the boy results... I guess I was meant to be a girly girl as you say.

Your Mom must be an a**hole if she done that. My Mom has always been fine with the way I'd look everyday with my hair gelled sticking up cut above the bottom of my ears. I even wear guys clothes like jeans, sweatpants, and BDU things. Heck, one time my mother was really angry when I p***ed off this girly girl and was about to make me wear a prom gown to school. Mom and I were talking about this subject the other night and she said my chances of being feminine were slim to none. Besides, I was born to act like a man since my male sex hormones are high. My breasts are almost gone and actually was born with a guy figure. I should show you a few pictures of me sometime. I have broad shoulders, kind of tall for my age, no flattery figure, very muscular...

Really you should do what feels right to you. There is no need to do what others say. In my case I was very much tomboy. From 8 through about 13 I wore everything boy and cut my hair really short. I had a normal body and started to develop breasts and all and tried to hide them. My idiot mom one day decided she need to feminize me since she was very feminine. I came home to find all my stuff thrown away and gone and in its place were lacy panties, short skirts and dresses. Not even any shorts. I had to go cold turkey from tomboy to girl in a short skirt/dress. Talk about embarrassed... I think most of the guys in school got quite a thrill from the new Jen showing underwear everywhere... I was so out of practice and clueless. But I learned and one thing that happened was I started to like the way guys looked (not when I was exposed) but just in general. So I made the switch. I've stayed feminine and wear a skirt most days. I'm just more comfortable that way.

I understand what you are saying Kelsey and I have my own individuality too. Dressing like this, will it make others see me as "immoral" as I do some girls that dress in skirts? I have heard things of such by being physically harmed in secondary grades if I don't become feminine. As of now, I'm in the seventh grade and it appears weird when I don't have a "girly" style.

it wouldnt hurt to be more "pretty", but you could still keep some of the tomboy style, you know what i mean?
