Lucia, aged 6
Being a girl means… Being polite and saying please and thank you. Also acrobatics, and being cool with Star Wars. I enjoy being cool. Being a girl also means I get to do girly stuff like to go to girls houses and colour in flowers and butterflies, but I also get to do boy stuff too.
The positives are… That I have a nice mother and nice father and we all love each other. Also I get to have babies.
The boundaries are… None. I can do everything boys can do, like boys like Star Wars and so do I, or some boys like pink and purple and so do I.
My ambitions are… To stay up late. Also I want to go to Hawaii as I’ve always wondered what it was like there. And I want to be a scientist, but then how can I be a scientist if I have kids? Oh yeah, because they will have a dad to look after them too and they will go to nursery and school.
My hopes for the future are… To be a normal grown up and do grown up things, whatever it is that grown ups do. And I want to one of those nice parents.
My fears… Monsters. I’m scared of them at night now but when I am an adult I won’t be scared anymore.
I look up to… My mummy, Rachel, my teacher at school, Sevilay, and my Aunty Cristina.
Girls are… Fun and cool.
