" I’m not sure why it’s so bad to be compared to a girl. Why is that a put-down? I like girls. I like to talk to them and hang around them at recess. We play four square a lot while the other boys are playing kickball and basketball. I don’t understand what’s so bad about having qualities that some girls have. But it is. I know it is. It feels like I’ve been kicked in the stomach. "
