The narrator and Olivia were both categorized in the stereotypical male and female category. "Her eyes rested unabashedly on my dusty workbooks, then my jeans, my Snap-on tools belt buckle, the wallet in my back pocket, my black T-shirt, makes earlobes, and freshly shorn hair." Just because the narrator “looked like a guy” doesn’t mean they identify as such, and because Olivia “looks like” a little boy, doesn't mean that she is one either.
