3. No, my mother was jealous of me so people told me.
4. I was often told that I was very pretty when I was younger but I often felt ugly and used my hair to hide my face. Sometimes I thought I looked quite attractive when I took care of my appearance though.
Yes, femininity was a problem until I fell in love, then I tried hard to look like a girl for my loved one.
5. I take care of my health and wellbeing by eating good food and doing daily stretches to keep my muscles and bones in good shape and I walk so that my heart stays healthy.
