@jrdepriest cis male here, although i have an unusual relationship with gender that i'll call "gender-meh".

1, 2, 3, 4) i was *told*. at five i was an only child and had no notion of there being anything else than "boy". i did not, of course, think about girls. that i only played with other boys was not a decision on my part; it just happened.

(when the other boys giggled and asked me if i knew the difference between a boy and a girl, i said "long hair". amusing that i was more right than they were.)

5) i imagine i would have accepted it.

6) that would have been deeply upsetting — i'm autistic — but i can't imagine it happening.

7) no idea

8) i played with both. asked for dolls, sometimes.

9) pretty certain i would have ignored that.

10) ooof, that's just *wrong*.
