Did anyone else get confused between “women” and “men” when they were young?

I know this sounds weird but did anyone else get confused between "women" and "men" when they were young? (The signs of the bathroom as well as the words themselves). Personally, I used to get confused between the two, especially seeing the depiction of a figure wearing a dress vs someone wearing pants. I never wore dresses or skirts and I always wore pants, as I was a tomboy growing up. Even to this day, I prefer pants over dresses and skirts. I guess I thought that I was one of the "men", I didn't identify with "women". I identified more with the word "men" rather than "women". "Women" just sounded strange to me…

When I was a kid I was called girly by some peers because I was harmless and one time while getting a haircut some random woman said I was "pretty like a girl" whatever that meant.

I did hang around with girls a lot as a boy but stopped because I was shamed for it by boys.

Other than that, I don't think I was ever seen as something other than a boy/guy tho.

I wasn't seen as something other than a girl but I think that I've always been more of a tomboy. I've never been a girly girl and idk I just never really felt feminine. I'm pretty sure that I was male in my past life

Just be yourself whatever that may be. You also don't need to put yourself through labels and under a microscope all the time.

I was never confused between women and men when I was young, but I sure am confused about it now

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I get confused between some women and men today.
