Idk how to describe it.

But like, I was scrolling yt and saw something about my little pony pop up and it made me realize that i would’ve loved mlp so much as a kid. I even remember in kindergarten when I was trying to play with mlp dolls and another kid came up to me and said “those are for girls.” [I’m not like blaming him for everything, it’s just struck me how long I’ve had that memory for]. I was always really insecure about watching “girl” shows and movies for so long that I actively felt uncomfortable when they were on.

Or just playing with dolls in general. I did like playing with cars and stuff as a kid but I think i would have really liked dolls too.

But like…I cant really do those now. At least not in the same way, yknow? I’m an adult and watching mlp is…not exactly mentally stimulating. At least that’s my impression.

    I missed out on quite a lot of things but that was mostly from being poor rather than trans.

    For trans specifically I’m more upset I kept being forced to do things I didn’t want to but was expected to because I was a “boy”. Sports, for example. I didn’t mind playing sports I just didn’t like that I wasn’t given a choice in the matter.

    Except baseball. I hated baseball. Too much waiting around. It was extremely boring.
