A lot of people talk about gender these days, but this is something that has been going on for a long time. There is what society expects you to be, and there is what you feel is natural and appropriate for yourself... and those two rarely match.
The main reoccurring issue is that people have stereotypes of what a gender is supposed to be and then try to enforce that on you. Just because I am [insert gender here], that does not mean I have to conform to people's stereotypes of that gender. And it does not mean I have to change my gender just because I don't fit their stereotype.
I am not the label people place on me. I am me. And I am unique, just like everyone else.
A big part of life is figuring out who you are, and everyone has their own journey. We should be compassionate with people instead of trying to stuff them in a box by labelling them with an unwanted stereotype. Get to know people for who they are instead of assuming they are a certain way because of some label or stereotype.
