There are so many people these days who are being put into different groups. It's complete and utter contempt and/or fear for anything that is deemed "different" or "odd". There are many people who are mistreated just because they're the new kid at school, or they have a different hair color than anyone else around, or have different hobbies than other people their age. So what if a girl looks like a boy, it doesn't mean she wants to look that way. She could just have a hormonal imbalance and is unable to control it. How when said girl participates in a middle school chorus presentation, only to be called a gay guy wearing a dress by her classmates dad, and how he is taking his kids out of the school because of them allowing such behavior.
How everyone just assumes she's into female and was constantly called a lesbian because she never dated all through her school life, due to her bullies who would torture her or whoever she liked which made her unable to date they guy she liked. How she became so fearful of liking anyone she retreated into her hobbies and her own little world to avoid persecution but still received the verbal abuse and sometimes physical abuse from her peers, and the constant berating and degradation from her mom who disdained everything that she didn't approve of, even something as simple as the Labyrinth movie just because she hated David Bowie. She grew up by being called freak, weirdo, and fat, among others. Always being told by her mom that she wished her daughter would be like other females, be more feminine, just be someone ideal in her eyes. Coming home in a new cute outfit, only to be called ugly and fat in it and that anything she would wear would become ugly. Wishing so much to die and be shed of all the pain that has accumulated over her 20+ years. Why would a person who has been bullied want to become what they've had to suffer from their whole life?
Making choices to please other people, to make them happy...causes a deeper pain by denying yourself your own happiness. You lose sight of who you are, who makes you who you are...the journey to finding yourself again is sometimes worse than what you found on the opposite side...But even so, who wants to hear that a complete stranger elderly couple will never come back to a restaurant because they allow such a thing as two "men" publicly showing their affection while they're on a date and accuse said couple of being sick freaks who should be ashamed to go in public because of their lifestyle choice? Or feeling like guys only want you for sex, and that no one will ever love you, because they hate everything about you, but your goods, anyway? It makes you fall into a pit of despair, feeling like there's no way out. Why do people hate you so much, when all you've ever tried to do is fit in, to be liked, to be a part of the crowd, to feel like you belong?
The problem isn't with you, it's with society. The fake photos of what women should look like, the propaganda of who is more superior in body shape, hair color, body color, size of your wallet, or whatever other group society says is more superior... The shaming of everyone different needs to stop, but one person can't do it alone. Together we can change society for the better. #StopDifferentShaming
