Hey world Im Joseph!

Asigned female at birth(ch 1)

In August 2003 a healthy baby girl was born. I was loved and cared for. Right from the start my favorite color was blue (still is).  As  a toddler I loved playing outside, looking for bugs and reptiles. I also loved drawing and playing with dinosaurs. I would only wear boy underwear. I hated all things feminine. I always put up a fight when I was forced into dresses. One of my earliest memories was in pre school, we were going to finger paint. All the girls had to be in a line for pink paint and all the boys were in another line for blue paint. I went in the boy line because I HATED PINK and I felt like I was more of a boy. Just as it was my turn to paint one of the teachers stopped me and told me to go to the girl line. I refused to and she then pulled me to the side. She said that during recess I could finger paint with blue, but at that moment I had to paint pink. I cried and hid under the table, and painted with pink. I didn't feel different because I thought that evreone had "female" parts and gender was in your head.
