Fighting a Stereotype
I don’t like people making assumptions about me based on my gender.
I’ve been fighting against the ‘girly girl’ stereotype for as long as I can remember regardless of how well it fits my personality. I must admit that it difficult for me to embrace the fact that I am actually somewhat girly. I don’t want to be labelled and stuck in a box – limited by expectations of what a girl should do or be. If people just judge my interests and abilities based on my being female they won’t get to know the real me but when I go out of my way to stand out it kind of defeats the purpose because that’s not really a good representation of who I am either.
I know this probably isn’t very interesting but identity is so important. I want to be comfortable in who I am and be able to share the genuine version of me with people.
