    My dad just beat my ass, no wrasslin. Eventually I got big though and he became a lot more hesitant to get physical. Learning Muay Thai probably helped too lol.

      As a girl I had a similar experience with my mom, sole parent. Except I never got big at all. I got fit and learned how to use my tiny size to do what I wanted.

      She used to beat my ass for being autdhd, when only the adhd part was known, and then I hit middle school and took up wrestling (on the boys teams! Fuck authority! Fuck norms! Girl power! Holy shit was that a struggle for several years that involved lawsuits… but she finally loved and supported me for being the almost son she never had… I’m actually still a woman tho, I just liked it :D) and suddenly my problems weren’t problems for her anymore…? Magical how that works. My golden child older sister stopped being a raging cuntbag at me, too, the first time I picked her up and slammed her onto her bed to shut her up when she threatened me.

      No no that family dynamic doesn’t leave lasting personality issues, not at all :)

          Thanks! On the plus side in my time I was able to redirect young women away from my coach and the super hostile sexist environment he cultivated… helping out with jr high wrestling club was encouraged, so I talked to a lot of parents, and told them about my experience at that school, with that coach, and recommended looking for another for their upcoming female wrestlers.

          I hope they had an easier time :) I genuinely enjoyed doing it, against mixed sex opponents. Male and female bodies have different strategies, and keeping them separated is stupid imho.

            At such a young age you might not have realized, but most families do not have school choice. Were you aware of that?
