I'm with you Jen.
I've always been a Tom Boy. I used to spend my summers as a child building tree houses.
Never been into make up, fashion etc etc
Womens magazines make me gag and only ever buy the astro mags, american scientific, cosmos, grassroots etc.

There is discrimination within the Astronomy community, which is humiliating and hurtful. It's not nice to be ignored and patronised.
But I've managed to surround myself with the most supportive people, most of which I've met here on IIS.
