Sorry for the bummer question!
saw something that mentioned this being an AMAB-thing, but it definitely happened to me as well, and it just made me wonder how unusual it was to be punished (physically or otherwise) for crying as a girl
you can just yes/no, you don’t need to get into it unless you want to
(feel free to unload, probably I’m not the only person who will relate)
Yes depending on the caretaker I was punished, ridiculed or ignored when I cried. (Maybe ignoring is also a form of punishment?)
