Some of you will say you know this. But this goes further than just knowing. it's not just about saying "Oh, I know this!". It's about DOING. It's about lifestyle. It's about every day words and actions. It's about changing the world we live in, one word at a time, one action at a time. Over and over and over again, until it sticks.

Hahah! But that's kind of hilarious, given my transgendered state. Either is appropriate.

And after all, how can you tell the gender of the swimming pool in the icon? :D

My assumption honestly was based on the username. But hell, sometimes boys want to be pretty princesses too, right?

Indeed. One of my enormous (ridiculous) internal crisis moments as I wrestled with coming out as transgender (ftm) was "Oh god, does this mean I have to give up all my earrings and tiaras? Noooooooooo!" I have since decided that men do not get enough sparkly dangly earrings so I must continue to wear mine.

On the flip side, male fashion does tend to get a better assortment of trousers with useful pockets. Being a bit of a gadget whore, yet not wanting to adopt either the utility belt or photographer's vest, this appeals to me.
