Oh, no, I love make-up! (I'm especially fond of lipstick.) Don't worry, I don't buy stuff I don't truly want.

I'm also one heck of a tomboy, but even as a little kid I was the kind of tomboy who wore skirts.

Maybe the salesclerk had a point - maybe it's my height and broad shoulders. I try to be amused by it, but after 30 years of being mistaken it does tend to grind on the soul.

I totally get the dismay transgendered people feel - being identified as the gender you *know* is wrong for you really, really, really sucks!
