REMEMBER the day you realised you were a boy or girl? Remember how that felt? Was it just a single day or a process? Did it take years of realising what gender meant? Did you have to peel back the layers of what it meant to be a boy or a girl – to keep or discard what felt right for you?
Did you just go along with what your family and society expected of boys or girls, for instance that girls should wear pink dresses and boys should not cry?
