Were you GNC as a child?

I thought it meant General Nutrition Center. They used to be in every shopping mall if you wanted to buy protien powders and other technically legal things to "build muscle mass fast".

Just checked. They still exist. Huh.

Anyway, I was mostly "normal". Not horribly masculine, but not really feminine either. I had a few effeminate traits - I liked to cross my legs when I sat down - but I doubt anyone thought I was gay just from those.

Same as Lex basically. Still dont think crossing legs is feminine btw. At least not anymore.

 

Everyone thought I looked like a girl!!!!!! They always used to tell me..."oh I thought u were a girl before ur mum introduced u as her son".....lol and on top of that (looking back at old videos) I was incredibly feminine acting and talking without even knowing it
Shouldn't be to much of a shock when I come out hopefully

 

I remember being equally enthusiastic about "girly" things and "boyish" things. I suppose that was a good indicator of things to come.

 

i was such a girl.

 

at various points, I looked like a girl. I would consider myself normal if slightly feminine

 

I was very feminine as a child. Even going so far as wanting to transition into a female at one point in my youth. There are so many pictures of me playing dress-up as every Disney Villainess this side of Maleficent. I played with my sisters' Barbie dolls on a daily basis. There were some boyish interests I shared, but they were few and far between.

 

I was in love with legos as a kid. Always building something. And, Lex, isn't GNC still in every shopping mall?

 

Both of the remaining ones, yes.

Well since I woreplastic princess shoes and feathered boas, and pushed a stroller full of dolls and tolled everyone I was there daddy...probably seemed rather fem.

But I also built on train and car tracks for hours. My mom jsut didn't mind if I wanted something typicaly girly or not. I can remember askin for a barbie and her car one yeer and Santa trying to talk me out of it.

Not very girly now tho.


Adn we don't have a mall here, but we hav a GNC

 

Interesting question looking back I guess I should have seen my bisexualality coming, I was way into boy things, I loved playing outside riding bikes, and I had a lot of hot wheels and stars wars stuff, and then I loved all my barbies and my little pony and care bears and rainbow bright and polly pocket and girls games like girl talk( lol don't think anyone would remember that one, damn I'm old.)

 

I was into more bookish things *nerdy* . But more girly if you had to say.

Funnily enough, some of my girl friends that were very tomboyish are very very straight and narrow. =]

 

I sat with the girls, had lots of female friends, was very jealous of their cute clothes, and liked boys just as much as they did.

I still do almost all of these things.

 

I was pretty much as boyish as you can be.. played with toy cars and trucks, had only boys as friends, played soccer and built forts all day outside, and my room was blue (still is).

 

Eh, I think your poll should have included a wider spectrum of options than either being "extremely" masculine/feminine or just "normal".

I don't think I was especially gender non-conforming other than that I developed a strong distaste for sports from a young age. I just never had any interest in playing them or watching them, no matter how much my father tried to force me to do both.

Other than that though...I didn't play with Barbies or like to cross-dress or anything like that. In terms of toys, I mostly liked to build things with Legos or Megablox or K'nex, or whatever all those things were called. I also liked Playmobil and toy cars and dinosaurs and things. Though I guess I did like to make more complex storylines about my Playmobil soldiers and knights than most boys probably were...
