18) Very progressive! Leah grew up with two dads and a sister, so it was a welcoming, loving home atmosphere that celebrated being proud of oneself and following passions, regardless of the stereotypical assigned gender of certain activities or interests. Her femininity has always been a big part of who she is and how she identifies, and that's been celebrated at home.
19) Leah presents femininely and is a huge advocate for dresses with pockets. After all, just because she likes to wear pretty things doesn't mean she doesn't also want someplace to put cool rocks she finds.
18) Don's homelife was neutral to progressive while it lasted, but she never appreciated that at the time. She was too stuck in her own head to understand that she was loved and supported, instead making baseless assumptions that her parents would love her less if she weren't their perfect little girl because of their religious nature.
19) Don also presents femininely, though tends towards a more tom-boyish look while staying on the feminine side--fewer dresses, but she loves a self-made band crop top.
