I grew up a Tom Boy. I was always with the boys and doing outdoor activities, hated dresses (still do) and I felt more like one of the boys. I am a woman and I am proud. I have children and grandchildren. I have been married for over 2 decades to a man's man, military vet and all around good guy. We enjoy the outside activities still and my closest friend is a guy. My hubby is cool with it because he has always known that we have been close for our whole lives. As for the whole being uncomfortable with puberty and periods. That's life and there are things that can make it a little more bearable now than when I was young. Please let this young lady know she doesn't have to do anything rash and that she will look back at it all when she is older and smile because she could actually have it all. Being one of the guys and being a beautiful strong woman when the time is right. God makes no mistakes. Love and prayers to you and your beautiful Tom Boy cousin.
