Quote #1
Advanced Placement Physics, I noted with more than a twinge of resentment. He couldn't share a few IQ points with his only sister, could he? (2.24)
Of course Liam has to be the smarter one. Regan just has to be in the shadows, always keeping her sibling's secret and staying out of the way.
Quote #2
Dad said to me, "You need to sleep. Girls have to get their beauty rest."
Liam's eyes met mine. I expected him to smirk or something, but instead he glared. (2.30-31)
Dads can sure be annoying sometimes. Instead of recognizing that their dad is kind of being a sexist pig, Liam is just jealous because Regan gets all the girly attention in the household.
Quote #3
Well, duh, Regan. That's exactly what he wanted. It's what he's always wanted. If Liam could wish for one thing in the world, one birthday present, he would ask to be born again. Born right, in the body of a girl. (2.125)
Liam can't help but resent Regan for something that she simply cannot change—that Regan gets to go through life in a girl's body. Because her gender identity conforms with her physical sex, Regan is comfortable in her body and at peace with her own gender.
