Hey there! You weren’t allowed to cheerlead, I was forced to when I wanted to play football, but I wasnt allowed to play football.
I also wasn’t allowed to ride quads or dirtbikes, or cut my hair or skateboard.
It sucked because my girl cousins got to, one of my cousins was the only female football player in our town. My stepfather wouldn’t let me do any of it though.
He taught me how to “be a good wife” however… Ugh. I feel you. I let my son be interested in whatever he chooses today. It’s not hard to do.
To be entirely fair, I didn’t want to be a cheerleader either. My extracirriculars before I was moved to a new school were mostly the chess and anime clubs, and afterwards I had to take the bus and couldn’t stay for after-school activities anymore.
My parents did let me grow my hair out and get my ears pierced, but that’s as far as I was willing to risk a femme presentation while I was living under their roof.
Yeah I get that. I also wasnt allowed to pierce my ears. My step father was old old school. Had to do skirt checks and everything. My sister wore shorts one time and he called her a whore :(
I started cutting my hair myself in highschool. My stupid ass stepfather thought it just didn’t grow lmao
Sucks we can’t get those days back, but I hope today you are able to do as you please.
My biggest challenge is finding clothes that fit me well, Women’s sizes are too short, Men’s sizes are too straight, and what passes for enby fashion is all baggy and sexless. XD
