Just for the record, though, OP actually did say something other than what they apparently meant. Which is fine, it happens to everyone. But that is what happened.

I don't see how. You have to acknowledge the thought of wanting to see something different than what was presented in order to reach the conclusion that you'd like both. If anything, OP is hedging AGAINST wanting boy!11.

I think the secret could talk about it being interesting, or being curious to see what it had been like, or like "it would have been cool" or something, or "I wonder what it would have liked like" or "I would have been interested in seeing a version" or something like that. "wished Eleven had actually been a boy" doesn't really present it in a way of just acknowledging the idea of wanting to see something different, it presents it as wishing Eleven had actually been a boy.

And I think it would also have helped to actually present some of the context and reasoning behind it, instead of leaving it for anons in the context to ask why they wanted to see that.

And I know it's not a big deal, and I admit that I'm being more stubborn about it than I need to be. But I think this secret is, at best, unclear. And it's just really frustrating because I think that people frame stuff like this as FS misinterpreting what secrets say. And I just don't think that's true. And I'm not going to pretend that I misinterpreted OP when I don't think that's what I did.
