The pressure are so awful for so many queer people. My mom faught hard against gender stereotypes. I'm so grateful for how effective she was
My mom willed me to be hyper girly. I was always told how girly I was, even when obvious reality was opposite. She does it to my neices now.

It's very insidious. She doesn't say how they should behave, just repeats over and over how much they like pink, how feminine they are, etc.

My niece likes pink, don't get me wrong. Also loves looking in the dirt for bugs and grasshoppers! She's a mix, like most kids.
