This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It's amidst impossible to type this bc of all the tears.

Still breaks my heart, for my own childhood and for that of my beautiful girl (age 15) and boy (age 10). Thanks to you, Dar, today and always!

I'm with you, ProfG999, except I teach 7th graders in a girls school. But I grew up hating gender roles, have a son whom I taught to off gender boxes, and love Dar's music. My kids have loved discussing this song.

I grew up on a farm and I was literally 9 before I started wearing a shirt on a regular basis. I wore cut-offs and not much else. By the end of summer my feet would be impermeable to the rocks as I ran. I can still remember the day I decided to start wearing shirts. A young man was there with the beekeeper. I remember that my not having a shirt made the teen uncomfortable, though at the time I had NOTHING, other than a mass of wild hair, to designate my gender. That is when it all changed. (My parents had, by the way, tried to keep me clothed, lol, but I was a stubborn child.) ;-)

I've used this song in my Gender lectures for years. I grew up a tomboy who hated all the gender roles. Then I had a son and watched him go through it all too. We need to blow up the gender boxes! Love Dar's music!

This is an incredibly sweet song - so honest (like the album title: The Honesty Room) and beautiful. I identify with the boy at the end of the song who says "When I was a girl..." The entire album is wonderful. We need more Dar Williams in the world.

She plays the guitar well, and he voice matches up well with her guitar playing. I was trying to decipher what brand guitar she was playing, but it was a mystery to me. I didn't always quite catch all the words she was singing. It's nice that there are still people who perform like this.

Wow! Goosebumps! Thank you, Dar Williams. Thank you! I was a girl, and I still am...but I know many who were not or are not. I will share. Again, thank you.

As someone who literally transitioned physically from female to male, the lines, "And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone, I seldom do.... And I have lost some kindness, but I was a girl, too" feel like they speak directly to my experience. And that's what is so wonderful about Dar Williams- she speaks to everyone.
