At a young age I was able to participate in any sport or activity I desired from karate to ballet to baseball. They frequently spoke to me and encouraged me that I may do anything I would like as long as I work hard. So I do not feel my activities would have changed. When it came to my feelings I was regularly asked to express them and to be honest but when looking at it with more depth I don’t think it would have been as encouraged if I was a male. My father’s stepson struggles with this and was never asked to give his opinion but was expected to act like a man. And my stepdad would time and again make comments about how men should handle their business like men. As for my goals I think they would be the same to have a career that I love and a family. Now what I would want to do could have been shaped different because of the effects on my feelings, and not being allowed to feel too much
