Questionable Gender?

In the beginning of the book, Satrapi wanted to do the things that guys did. She wanted to be a prophet. Everyone shot that dream of hers' down. Throughout the book she displays different questionable gender comments. Did Satrapi want to me a guy?

Also further through the reading she cuts her hair off really short. And through the illustrations, Satrapi made herself look manly. She would get boyfriends, but the question rises, why the manly side. Does she want to be a bigger figure? (Nicole Butzke, Post 23)
