When we are born, we are automatically thrown into this world where our identity is given to us. You’re either seen as a girl or a boy and from that point on that identity is continually forced upon you. Girls and women are meant to be feminine; meaning to be caring, emotional, wears makeup and tight fitting clothing, etc. We are told who to be before we even get the chance to discover who we our for ourselves. As we get older and start to expand our minds and grow, we tend to form our own identities. We being to form our own personal style, uphold our own values, we learn how we want to be protrayed to the world and begin to live the life we want.

As people we need to unlearn these actions that we were taught. We are conditioned to believe that there are only two ways that a person could be. We can’t keep perpetuating this opinion because you have to think of everyone who is being hurt by this. Adults teach their children this idea, who then go on to teach their children, who then go on to teach their children, and so on. We have to let our children decide for themselves who they want to be.
