I Hate Gender Stereotypes

I grew up with a variety of different people with different views on sexual identity, so my views on this matter, I believe are different than the average person. So, I don't think that I hold any stereotypes where this is concerned. It...

Mom is a Baptist Christian.
Sweet, old lady. Prays for the good of other individuals, every day. Jabbers on the phone, almost every day. Watches Joyce Meyer and John Hagee sermons, almost every day. Rambles ever thought and word, every...

Transgendered people are the most stigmatized and misunderstood of the larger sexual minorities (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender). Since gender follows physical sex for most people, transgenderism and even transsexualism are almost...

i am gay. i am male. i am feminine

i resent the fact that because i was born male that there are all these preconceived notions of how i should act and be. i just want to be free to be me, but this world makes it almost impossible - it...

I hated being a little girl, being told I couldn't play in league football because I was a girl, being told I couldn't play video games because I was a girl, being told I had to wear a dress and act like a lady and be quiet and sit...

and I genuinely do, but sometimes I'm confused. Sometimes I wish my husband was the handy one and I wasn't. It's embarrassing to have someone come work on something, start talking to him, and then he stands there clueless and I have to...

My family treats me weird if I wear men's clothing. My dad has said he would rather me shop in the women's section. Women's clothes aren't comfortable at all to me. I prefer men's jeans because they're so baggy and I can get a size that...

You know what?
If I'm ever going to marry, my husband is going to stay home and cook and clean!
Okay, maybe not, maybe we're going to have equal roles and we'll treat each other nice. Not like "you're a woman, you must do that and...

Am I a man or a boy? In gender queer theory, what is it? I think it is hilarious that today's American queer theory presents ideas that use the terms that they seek to rise above. What is masculinity and femininity and does it matter...

I'm not arguing that the sexes are literally identical, because there are clearly some physical differences. I'm aware of the difference between sex and gender. However, for all practical purposes we may as well be equal. I don't expect...

That's why I will always alter my avatar,swapping between male figures,female figures,and non-anthropomorphic figures too.I know this will really confuse andeven irritate some EP members,but why should that be my problem?What I have to...

My dad is the man of the house. He works, brings home the money, takes care of the bills. Mops the floors on the weekends.

Umm.. wait... did I just say he mops the floors on the weekends? men aren't supposed to do that...

For as...

I was born in the early 70's and I was also born with both sexes. I did not find this out until 2006 when I started seeking out a medical professional for my full transition from male to female. I latter learned that I was truly 85...

An English teacher explains to her class that in French, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine. "Pencil," however, is masculine.
A student asks, "What should be the kind...

Oh, hell.
People are always defining you by your gender. You're a girl, so you must like the colour pink and you love pretty dresses. You're a boy, so you must be into sports or video games.
WHAT BLOODY CENTURY ARE YOU STUCK IN?
Anyone...

Though there are plenty of qualities I have that some people consider masculine, I am justified as a female, simply because I am one. I used to feel pressured and confused but then I realized people just have it wrong. There is no...

There is too much confusion in the world by "male" and "female." It's not that there is anything wrong with the genders, just the way they are viewed. I feel that view needs to change or we will be in trouble. Our ideals need to be more...

Why can't a guy be caring, understanding, and sensitive? Just because I believe in respect and being supportive doesn't mean that I'm not a man. Where is it written that every man must be cold and uncaring? So what if I'm different from...
