I wouldn't say i was a pick me exactly, more like i didn't wanna get stereotyped as a weak girl, of course I'm not saying that girls are weak but growing up as a child where boys are excused because they're just being boys, it made me resent being a girl.(Also because i thought having a penis would be fuckin awesome and i wanna look like a guy) I considered myself "not like other girls" at the ripe age of 8 lmfao, but with the help of the internet and it's wonderful (fuckass) community, i was able to realize that I was actually just.. a guy. Oh and I'm aromantic, yippie! (Not to get confused with aromatic, which are stuff that smella good because the last thing you can describe me with is "smells good"/jk i do shower)
“Not like other girls” as a child is being afraid of being perceived as the caricature of a woman that society tells us. I’m happy that you figured yourself out though, sweetheart!!! ️️️

This is similar to my experience except I ended up being non-binary instead. I didn't hate being a girl as a whole, but I never tried to be feminine either and many people would call me out on that saying "Oh 'Aniyae' always looks like a boy." and stuff. And then when puberty struck, I strayed from femininity even more as it started to bother me ho...... 2 reply
some of my friends have a similar experience LMAO, some are transmasc or genderfluid, theres def a correlation
I also went thru "im not like other girls" bs which was hilarious bc i used to be hyperfeminine before that, but i was super sporty and lowk violent, and i hated when people tried to put or force me into a box just bc i was a girl
