For as long as I can remember I have broken every single stereotype about girls. I am competitive, so much so, that since a very young age I have always competed and won against boys. I am nerdy and adore action films such as Star Wars, Marvel, DC comics, Lord of the Rings etc, which I realise a lot of girls love too yet are silenced for it. I am not into beauty, I am 16 years old and still won’t wear make-up or stylish/revealing clothing no matter how much it is forced upon me to look more beautiful for other people. I also love gaming, but the community is so sexist sometimes that I turn off all online communication.
These stereotypes have always tried to enforce themselves upon me, but I have always ignored them, so much so that a ‘person’ once said, “You should have just been born a boy”. Whenever I would compete against boys and win, simply for the fact that while I am small, I am fast, strong and an all-around sportsperson, boys would say to their friends, “You got beaten by a girl”. I have also always been uncomfortable around children to the point I decided I never want children when I grow up with absolute certainty because I physically cannot be within five metres of one but people always say, “You’ll change your mind.”
I HATE STEREOTYPES.
