Surely you knew one or more guys who were overly excitable/dramatic or one or more girls who were like... the opposite of feminine? I knew them, I can think back now and see in my head the faces of the ones I would suspect, lol. I recently had one of them reach out to me through Facebook (I'm not on Facebook but my SO is) and sure enough, she has a wife now and I just thought "yep, that tracks."

    Yes, there are some I suspect may have been gay and/or trans in hindsight, but at the time it didn't cross my mind. Transgender wasn't even a word I'd be exposed to until decades later. It's also important to note that I went to DoDDS schools (American schools overseas, in this case Germany, for the dependents of military servicemembers) for most of my school years, which would have made keeping such things hidden even more likely.
