But looking back I was definitely always gay, I remember having a huge crush on a guy when I was like 7, of course that's not what I thought it was at the time.

What's a 'cishet'?

why I never

In unrelated news there is no such thing as boys' toys or girls' toys. First of all that assumes a gender binary which is so far from reality because there is a multitude of unique ways people express gender including bigender, agender, third gender, etc. When women are pregnant all anyone can seem to talk about is if it's a girl or boy, they obsess over knowing or not knowing, and once the baby actually enters the world it is immediately inundated with blue or pink and pruned to accept the gender binary and its place in it. Society determines what boys like and what girls like much more than any natural inclinations do. Last week at a fast food place people were still being asked whether they wanted a boys/girls toy, something which I thought wasn't even done anymore because duh?
