When I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I really had gender issues.

I was a weird kid.

I had always been a really peculiar child. My mom would tell you I grew up roughing it with the boys and playing with action figures and toy cars and stuff, but I also had an Easy Bake Oven... I find it amazing that in a really weird way, people are mad that they can't figure out my gender.

As a little kid, I was convinced that I was a guy.

I was a very strange child.

I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.

I was a tomboy as a kid - I was skinny and had cropped hair and was often mistaken for a boy - and up until I was about six, I had my own very fluid ideas of gender in that I believed that, somehow, an individual could choose whether or not s/he wanted to be a boy or a girl.

As a little kid, I suppose I was a little weird.

We were unusually brought up; there was no gender differentiation. I was never thought of as any less than my brother.

Being female was just one more way I felt different and weird. I was also a young 'un, and also my cartoons were not like typical 'New Yorker' cartoons.
