Ask her what she thinks are the attributes of a girl and the attributes of a boy
I'm 100% sure that I would be labelled something by people who have an agenda just because I played sports, liked animals and not dolls, had and still have an interest in technology, studied the sciences, joined the military and have an interest in geopolitics
I was never labeled by others in this and I never doubted who I was ( I had and still have other problems with labels but nothing to do with gender)
Thankyou that sounds like a worthwhile conversation to have with her and I will.
Interestingly one of my role models was Major Houlihan in MASH. She was a strong, intelligent, capable and caring woman. Her womanhood and femininity was never in question.
( and Morticia of course )
