I knew something was up at 5 or 6 years old - #3

Hello -

One of my earliest memories involves a neighbor boy - I was about 5 or 6, I guess, and we were playing outside when he decided to pee on the side of the house. I thought it was really cool, but of course, I couldn't do it. I remember walking along the driveway, we had stones that lined the driveway - this was back when driveways were made of cinder gravel instead of white rocks or concrete. I was balancing on the stones wondering why I was not born a boy, it just seemed like I should have been.

Anyway that's the first memory I have that involved my gender. But at that time, in 1960 or so, no one talked about gender identity.... so it wasn't discussed with anyone that I felt that way.

I remember standing over the toilet and trying to pee standing when I was little - with limited success... didn't quite work out the way I planned.

But I tried anyway.

I know this isn't much of an entry, but it's the first thing I recall along the line of my gender questions.
