So who am I? My name is Kris Kidd and I am 42 years old. I hold a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I have studied Gender specifically over the past few years. From a very young age I knew I was not ‘female’, at least not in the way our culture expects you to be. I have never cared about the latest lipstick color or fashions, I did not enjoy Barbie, always wanted the orange racetrack! I am not drawn to typical female things, clothing, shopping, talking about boys/men, having and raising children, etc. Recently, I realized that I do not even look at ads for ‘women’ – I am not drawn to them. But if I see a football game, or an ad for men’s ‘stuff’ – lookout I am all eyes and ears. For those who know me can attest to my fashion consists of jeans, shorts, t-shirts, and crocs, I want to be comfortable after all! I grew up knowing I was not ‘male’. How could I be? I was raised in this culture as a female, I know how I am supposed to be as a ‘female’, and this has caused me much grief throughout my life.
