Yes exactly the same here Known. I even remember aged about 8, thinking about how I should have been a boy and feeling sad that I never could be. But that was not because I was a boy! It was because society told me that the stuff I liked was "boy stuff".
And not long after that, I cam to terms with it, and I love being a woman and am happy I grew up able to have a sex life and kids, unsurprisingly enough. I was a tomboy, and that was a really useful category for me, because a tomboy is a type of girl, and despite gender stereotypes existing, it's not derogatory - it just means a girl who doesn't do the feminine stereotype.
Genderists often like to bang on about "third genders" in various societies, but what they actually are is categories that allow for some people not fitting in, and giving them other options, with varying degrees of limitation. Tomboy is a good positive example of that, which we should embrace - and it would be good if there was an equivalent positive category for non-masculine boys.
