Gender. I think of myself as a woman whether I'm wearing a backward baseball cap or a low-cut little black dress.
I rebelled against traditional gender clothing for a long time because my mother tried to force it on me. Once I decided I wanted a certain kind of attention, and after I married my husband, I found my own brand of femininity that makes me feel... well feminine.
