So, perhaps androgynous would be a better word to describe myself.  I want people to look at me and not know if I am a girl or boy.  So over the past couple days I’ve been going through my clothes and seperating them into girl or boy… I discovered that I have barely any clothes that would be socially acceptable for a boy to where, and needless to say I found this slightly traumatizing.  I kept a few of my favorite skirts, and a couple of shirts I where a lot, but other than that, my once overflowing and stuffed closet now is basically empty.  All my other clothes I bagged up.
