I am a human. But people insist on forcing me to meet the characteristics that they consider to be womanly. Am I not a human? Don't I have the freedom to embrace my quirkiness? Why do I have to pretend to be the silent, meek girl? If that's not me, what is the use of pretending to be one?

I'm sure almost every parent asks their daughter not to laugh aloud, not to speak loud, to sit without hurting the chair, walk without sound etc. And I have faced reprimands from my family and relatives for not behaving like a girl. Well, I know I am a girl. Is that my problem if others can't see it?

yeah, some of my freds face the same problem, they are being mistaken as being tomboish

Wanna know who invented the term "tomboy"! Really? Can't a girl be herself without being labelled as something every time? First of all, people should be made aware of how "boys" and "girls" are basically born "human".
