Still, his mom is intervening. While the school requires different uniforms for boys and girls, Sasha wears a girl's blouse with his pants.

"I don't think I'd do it if I thought it was going to make him unhappy, but at the moment he's not really bothered either way."

He's a kid, not a manifesto. You want him to wear the girl's blouse, it sounds like. It doesn't make it sound like it's his choice.

Skull-print is "hyper-masculine"?

Anne Bonny might have something to say about that.

Er, not that she wore skull print. But she probably had a skull flag, and if she didn't, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. Just give me my illusions about the bad-ass ladypirate.

Oh, he's definitely a manifesto.

I should put this hilarious picture from my early childhood some family friends sent recently -- I am definitely as unisex-looking as possible, but it's not like my parents didn't want people to know I was a girl.

I have a frozen pizza in the oven. I took the plastic off with my own hands.

Us too! I fancied it up with olives and sundried tomatoes.

Glad Dita showed herself!

We had no problem using our credit cards in Ireland last summer. Mostly we tried to get cash from ATMs though because the charge was the same and there was no additional interest charged on it. Oh! We did call our various banks and let them know we'd be going abroad, where, and for how long. So excited for you, sara!!

Really?? Skull-print is "hyper-masculine"?

Why sure, just look at the raw machismo dripping off Chris Colfer and his skull print pants here: [link]

I got called "little fellow" more than once, because I was invariably in my brother's hand-me-downs. My hair has always been short because my mom didn't want to fuss with it. So, yeah. Totally unisex, totally not political. I did get my ears pierced at age five, but I don't think that was why.

None butcher.

My gender-neutrality was political (I had overalls with the male-female equality symbol on them), but certainly wasn't about erasing gender!

The big no-no's are hyper-masculine outfits like skull-print shirts.

So my skull-print shirt, tights, and two different skull-print skirts are hyper-masculine? I had no idea I was so butch.

When I was a kid, I preferred overalls over pretty much any other type of clothes. My mom liked frilly dresses, but since I wanted the overalls, she let me wear them, though she did usually buy them in girly colors. My hair was usually relatively short, mostly because I didn't like anyone fussing with my hair, so keeping it short was easier than dealing with me running away from a hairbrush and hair ribbons each morning.

I had a leftover mashed potatoes so I was going to make (veggie) shepherd's pie. By the time I got done it was more like a chili pie. That's a thing, right?
