My dad kinda turned me into a dude practically. A lot of competitive sports, not showing emotion (if you have emotions don't do anything rash just get high), peeing outside (although I probably would've done this anyway out of necessity), fighting with anyone, encouraged more "manly" studies/think about careers dominated by men like plumbing and construction (and then told me about his coworkers making jokes about putting gerbils up their...never mind), couldn't listen to any sad songs/movies or any love songs/movies, perfume and deodorant were banned (now I prefer the smell of cow manure over walking by the perfume section of any store, which was great because there was a farm by our XC practice area and race course).

But yeah, anything girls were supposed to do I was very uncomfortable because I never felt like a girl.

My mom isn't feminine by any standards either. At least she wears deodorant and bras though.
