Way Too Narrow

When I was young, I used to think life would have been so much simpler if I had been born a girl. I wouldn't be expected to do all those "guy things", and I wouldn't catch heat for "acting like a girl." When I was older, I also wished I was a girl so that I would be attractive to hetero boys. Now I realize that what I was being taught about what a boy "should be" was simply way too narrow.
