There are many reasons you might want to disguise yourself as a boy or girl. It's normal to want to know what it feels like to be someone of the opposite gender or to feel gender fluid. When you want to convince someone you're a different gender, it's helpful to look the part. However, there's no one-way to be a boy or a girl, so don't feel like you have to look a certain way.
