So, there always was that weird kind of feeling inside me though, that like something wasn&#8217;t like quite right. That was all I knew, right? I knew of girls and I knew of boys, or I knew of if someone couldn&#8217;t tell your gender that was weird. And so that was something that you weren&#8217;t supposed to be. So that was all I knew.
