@rebeccawatson In this: https://mstdn.social/@rebeccawatson/112926993314379385 , you have a paragraph on needing to tick the right boxes to be "girl". This, (both ways) does not get talked about enough.
I'm an old dude living in a pretty uniform, suburban community, and I don't get out much. I don't have all the new terminology down. BUT if people (parents and teachers, neighbours and friends) could just CHILL and not worry about ticking those boxes, I have a feeling we'd all have a better life.
