How the hell do I befriend other boys?

So, i'm 17 and a half. I'm in high school and making friends has never been more difficult for me. Not only am I the weird trans kid i'm also autistic. I was homeschooled a big portion of my life, so i dont really know how to make friends with my classmates. But i'd like to have some make friends. The girls think im just some weird tomboy girl and none of them like me. The guys are a bit nicer, but i'm scared of talking to them. Some time ago, i got threatened by a group of girls because they clocked me when i walked out of the men's room. But the boys never seem to mind. Plus, making friends with guys would be very gender euphoric. Im not saying female friendships aren't good or meaningful, i have a few female friends outside of school. But since i'm a guy and the boys in my class and school have been way nicer, i wanna befriend them. However, i am very awkward. And idk where to start. Are there any stereotypical "male" interests i could get into? Or should i just try to talk normally?
