Bailey Summers' newest chapter of Jem got me thinking of a moment when I was a teenager.
A couple of girls who had become part of an unofficial D & D group with me were at one of their houses and we were just goofing around, and then the girls decided it was too hot and since they didn't have bathing suits handy, they simply stripped to their underwear. Despite feeling a touch self-conscious about my body, somehow I got talked into doing the same.
Now, nothing even slightly sexual happened, despite the fact I was at least technically a boy. In fact, in hindsight, it was as close as I came to having a girl moment as I would have until I transitioned.
Kinda a pity I've lost touch with those girls, I wonder if they would be surprised I transitioned, or if they guessed the truth back then ...

It could be that your girly germs convinced them that instinctively you were just another girl.
The fact that you acted like one is beside the point.

Who Wins?
Who wins this contest? The one who's less girly? Or the one who's more girly?
Is it strictly binary, such as Tomboy and Girly Girl? Or is there a sliding scale of girliness?
Oh, and about your nostalgic memory: they probably thought of you as one of the girls, as in just like one of their girlfriends.
