There is only one time that I can recall when I was socialized into my gender. I was in third or fourth grade, and I was at some event in the library. What happened was my friend Nathan notice the game I was playing. The game was a Dora the explorer game, which is considered as a “girls” game. He announced what game I was playing, and I received ridicule for it. The ridicule was so bad at the time I mostly stopped playing it. The game wasn’t my favorite, but I liked it because it was a simple game to waste time on. On the rare occasion that I would play it I would hide it to not been seen. What really pushed me to that length was the embarrassment I received back then. To this day I will not play it, I may have even thrown it out in the past.
