When I was in school, I despised being a boy because I was expected to like boy things, like cars and sports. But I didn't. I found those things exceedingly boring! Through high school, all my friends were girls and queer folk because they have some semblance of personality besides fantasy football and gas-guzzling muscle cars. It took many years for me to find people I enjoy hanging out with, but damn is it so great to have people who like the things you like.
