to ppl questioning my gender, understand that I was raised with a *lot* of religion by a big conservative family ... I wore little house on the prairie homemade dresses to church, read the Bible cover to cover twice, was hit with a ruler for whittling because it was unfeminine

but you're speaking from a very particular liberal culture when you say that gender roles don't exist or aren't a big deal to violate or that "everyone" believes men & women are equal
