    Martin Cordova reflects on how his gender identity developed as a child and teenager. As a kid, he dressed and behaved typically like a boy, being friendly with both boys and girls. When he grew older, gender became a bigger issue, as friendliness between genders risked labels like "gay" or "tomboy". Some people around him avoided befriending the opposite gender due to these social pressures.

    Reflection Paper: My Gender Identity

    When it comes to influence on my gender identity, some of things that influenced me were my
    behavior, clothing, and appearance. When I was a kid, I dress up normally and my behavior was just like
    a boy. It also didn’t matter whether I was friends with a boy or a girl, I was friendly and shy, so I became
    friends with both genders. When I started growing up, gender became an issue for everyone including
    me. A boy being friendly with girls would be considered gay, and a female being friendly with a girl
    would be considered a tomboy. Because of this issue, some of the people around me avoided in
    befriending the opposite gender.
