#so for me being a little girl is deeply tied to boyhood

[k1ddiecat]

I feel much the same way! I was a tomboy (and still am! I just use butch now) and most of the characters I was able to connect with were boys/ I always wanted to be boys in pretend play. I always liked certain girly things but people never notice or care when you dont fit into a certain mold. I find that in my regression I get to enjoy both the girly stuff I always felt alienated from snd the boy stuff I was worried was "too much"! The strongest boy archetype I resonate with are the sensitive and maybe effeminate boy characters (Theodore Seville, Tails, Chuckie Finster, etc.). I definately love having sideblogs for things and if you want to I reccomend it but it can also be just another regressive aspect of your primary agere blog too. To me, little ones also play with gender as much as any other subculture does and we don't have to be rigid about boy/girl roles. We can follow our hearts and be both like we never got to be before

Okay this might be confusing but does anyone else feel like this?

Most of my regression is centered around reconnecting to my girly side since I was never allowed to explore that in my youth. “Girl stuff” like pink, dolls, and dresses were reserved for my other siblings, not me. I was a tomboy but it was a box other people put me in because I “wasn’t as girly as the others.” And it hurt because I secretly loved feminine things. So that’s why I enjoy that stuff so much more now.

But

Sometimes when I regress I like to play pretend and often I pretend to be a boy character, either one from a media I enjoy or one I made up. I used to always be the boy when my friends and I would play because nobody else wanted to. And I often found myself relating to male characters when I was younger anyways. There’s just a omething about being what I could never be in the eyes of others. I don’t think it has to do with my identity or anything, because I definitely feel like a girl, (as mentioned before, I’m trying to get that part of me back. I want to be the little girl I never got to be) but I just like “being” a boy for a bit. Maybe because sometimes it’s easier to be someone completely different than it is to be me? It’s like playing pretend for a bit I guess. There are so many sides to my regression and this is one I connect to a lot.

Idk I love the concept of boyre and I might make a side blog for it?? Does anyone else feel like this? Is it wrong to feel like this?
