Describe your own experience of becoming consciously aware that you "have" a gender, male and discuss the role this awareness may have played in your overall growth and development as a person (Male). That is, try to recall the first time you became consciously aware of your gender. Did you have particular experiences, or did people treat you in particular ways, so as to confirm your status as a gendered person? Have you always been absolutely certain that you are either a man or woman?
