Centuries of social conditioning has created a generational fear among women of being perceived as masculine.This is where all the shaming and labels come into play, which perpetuate the oppression of girls and women. As a society we shame girls with deep voices or masculine features and we shame boys with soft voices or effeminate gestures. Girls get called too manly and boys get called too girly.

I have experienced every kind of abuse imaginable and I am and always have been the most happy go-lucky, positive and life affirming person around.
