I’ve been starting to notice recently that I’ve most likely had gender envy at some point(s) in my past.
I guess the big question is, have you had any particularly notable instances of gender envy, or your first noticeable insurance of gender envy?
LFG!
I was envious of girls’ handwriting in elementary school. Also their faces looked so much better, I want.
Women fascinated me, but not in the straight man way of wanting to date them or whatever.
I’ve heard stuff like that a lot, but don’t know if I really understand the idea of “I like them, but in a gay way” in an egg context. Is it a thing you can describe?
It wasn’t in a gay way (though there’s that too), it was more envy but which I didn’t know was envy.
When I was a kid, my family took a trip to Universal Studios. During one of the tours, there was a girl in a princess Jasmine costume. The moment I saw her I knew I wanted to wear that outfit. I told my grandma and the girl and they both didn’t get it.
I was incredibly fascinated by periods, later realized that it was my trying to experience that through their stories (would still love to experience periods with all the good and bad)
My guy friend had his long hair braided to look very fem. I took pictures on a digital camera and would look at them, frustrated. Why the fuck did he get to be so cute? I was boyish and boring and gross, so I could obviously never look like that myself. Still, it did seem to be a better state of existence. I never understood why he cut his hair a few years later. Why wouldn’t you want to look like a girl? 😞
