My gender identity was male. “Gender identity is a sense of oneself as male or female.” (Wade 355) I was classified as a boy even though on the outside I…

end, or blind, street similar to the blindness and innocence with which the boy views the world. His world is sheltered and secluded from outside influences, comparable to the houses on the block.
