At 10 years old I told my mom I wanted to be a boy
Posted: Nov 7, 2016
I must have scared my mom when I told her I wanted to be a boy. Transgender issues were the furthest thing from my mind. I knew I could never be president because I was a girl. I heard this at school. My teachers always gave the boys the most attention in class and I knew that the same opportunities were not open to me. I even had to argue with my dad that I should go to college--there was no question in my mind that I deserved to go to college. I saw the only things ahead of me were being a nurse, a teacher. secretary or a stay at home mom. I thought I might want to be an astronaut or maybe be in the military or maybe even be the president.
Many things have changed and there are women astronauts and women in the military. But now, little girls who are growing up now will know that yes, they can be president, and they do not have to wish they were boys.
I never thought I would be so excited on the eve of the election tomorrow. Thank you Hillary!

Great. From rotten first black President to - corrupt first woman President.
[ In Reply To ..]"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
Female President, yes. When one comes along who isn't riddled with the cancer of corruption, I'll be glad to vote for her.
If Obama taught us nothing about letting our decisions be driven by superficialities, we are simply unteachable.
I personally will not vote for Hillary just because of my lady parts. - And I don't think morality should be
[ In Reply To ..]in the eyes of the beholder.
I’m voting for Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite. Not only does she possess her own potty mouth, she has demoralized this country.
A leader must be able to articulate a vision, be courageous and inspire. Hillary just doesn't do that for me.
I wonder if the people okay with felons voting are okay if they - get their second amendment rights back,
[ In Reply To ..]I bet not.
Yeah, I am - why not?
[ In Reply To ..]Don't they get them back? After all, aren't gun rights the most important rights in this country, according to the NRA and the Republican party? Seems like it anyway.
No they don't get them back. The Bill of Rights is important - and the second amendment is #2.
[ In Reply To ..]They are in order of importance.
I don't think the Bill of Rights and how they got there is taught - anymore. There is a reason why they
[ In Reply To ..]are in that order.
As one woman in PA cafe told interviewer when asked if she - would vote for the first woman Pres...
[ In Reply To ..]"HEAVENS NO!!"
In fact, they couldn't find a Clinton supporter in the cafe - and in PA, yet!!
My teachers were not like that at all! - How sad for you that you had such wicked teachers
[ In Reply To ..]How well I remember my 4th grade teacher telling our class the very first day of the school year that every year when she met her new class she would remind herself that one of her students might be president some day, and she wanted to do her very best for all of us, and expected us to do the very best we could, because we were the future. And then she would add that perhaps one of the girls would be the first woman president. I remember feeling so inspired by that remark!
And ALL of my teachers were like that.
Never ever ever did I feel that my teachers preferred the boys to the girls, and the only reason from my perspective that when boys got more attention it was because they were acting up, and the kind of attention they received was not the kind of attention I would want!
All through my school years I had wonderful teachers, I never was made to feel inferior because I was(am) a girl, they always made me that the future was full of possibilities and if I worked hard I could achieve much.
Those dear teachers are long since gone, but the memory of each and every one of them is with me still, they are a part of me, and I love them all.
How very very sad for you that you got such disgraceful lemons for teachers, I think that the superintendent of your school district must be burning in hell for his (her) poor hiring choices and lack of care in hiring of teachers, or perhaps it was deliberate. In any case, it is tragic, and, worse, the result of his (her) wickedness is that you felt compelled to vote for a lying corrupt self-serving opportunistic traitor who, if elected, is likely to plunge the world into war, and that somehow genitalia are important in choosing a president. They are not.
So either you were born yesterday or - you think we were
[ In Reply To ..]Oh yeah, everything was great, we could do whatever we wanted to do, so we all decided to take crappy low paying MT jobs at home so not only could we get low pay and no recognition, we get to do all the house work and child rearing too - while we are working!
Hoo boy. I'm sorry, but any woman in this day and age who hasn't come across some kind of discrimination or being squeezed out of something in deference to a male is deluding themselves or maybe had an alternate reality.
Hail my wonderful president Hillary Clinton! She herself got a letter telling her she couldn't be an astronaut because girls are not astronauts. Well, President is not exactly sloppy seconds.
Sloppy seconds and sloppy thinking - Old student
[ In Reply To ..]FYI, my WASP sons (and to some extent my daughters) have experienced plenty of discrimination; my sons due to gender and race, my daughters due to race.
Now, please explain to me HOW voting for the corrupt, TPP-supporting globalist who is "owned" by foreign interests, Hillary Clinton is going to improve the lot of the MT?
It seems to me it would be a lot smarter to vote for the candidate who intends to bring jobs back to this country and put an end to this economic sell-out on every level would be the smarter choice; better to wait another day to vote for a female president who at the very least has the intellectual capacity to understand how to protect our nation's top secrets appropriately.
When I started in MT 35 years ago...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]it wasn't a crappy low-paying job at home. I got an Associate Degree and had good paying jobs in medical facilities and for a few private physicians making $15 to $20 an hour. Back in the 70s and 80's that was fabulous pay. It wasn't until 5 years ago that I experienced a cut in pay to half what I used to make when the hospital I worked for closed the MT Department, and I went to work for an MTSO. Luckily, I still have 1 doc I still work for part time as an IC and average between $15 to $20 an hour and am now retired and collecting. I didn't work at home for the first 30 years, and my husband and son helped with household chores. My husband also spent a lot of time with our son, so his care didn't always fall on me. I can say I hadn't been discriminated against by men up until these last five years when the large corporate MTSOs took over (probably mostly run by men). The nature of the MT business, mostly populated by females who never really united and didn't speak up against mistreatment, is really what did us in.
