In this day and age, where people can describe themselves as gender fluid, or transsexual males and females, and all sorts of other stuff, who is anyone to come on and tell someone that they can't refer to themselves as a girl if that's what they choose to do?

As for "other sites are available" yes they jolly well are, and if you don't like the way people describe themselves you're welcome to go elsewhere.

Blimey people.

What are you going through, OP? Because nothing much changes in a day to day basis going from living together to being married. Is your husband trying to control you? Your posts are rather worrying.

Keep your good friends close.

You have every right to call yourself what you want. But trojan also has the right to think it isn't the best way to describe yourself and it makes grown women sound like a child. I'd think the same if a man called himself a boy. It sounds daft but it is each to their own. But my point about Laura Trott was there is a whole ad caption is #likeagirl because thats what people say. You don't hear someone saying you run like a woman, you punch like a woman. So if someone says girls can't play sports or you play sport like a girl her response saying who says girls can't play sports, would be a challenge or a response to that. Doesn't mean she necessarily refers to herself everyday as a girl.

Being married doesn't mean you can't socialise with single friends and that you require married ones. There's only one other friend married as am I, we have many single friends. I enjoyed getting married but it hasn't turned me into a different a person, I still love to social and have fun with the girls.
