I am an adult now but was raised in a military family that gave me a very stereotypically masculine role. I like to think it gives me a very unique perspective on quite a few current societal issues, for example I was brought up with the classic ‘boys don’t cry’ mindset and taught to never express emotion – except I am, and always have been, a girl 🙂
I am a female who was raised in a relatively ‘traditional’ male way. AMA

What’s your own relationship with the military?
What’s your sexual orientation?
How do you think it has affected you in life and relationships!
Omg someone like me! Are you first gen American by chance? Because the reason I ask is that I believe there was a study done for the eldest daughters of immigrant parents and a majority treated their daughters as the “man of the house” which is my case.
Besides all that! My question to you is, did you ever struggle with your gender identity because of this?
Thanks again!
