Creating a gender identity for some are hard. For me growing up it was a struggle, because I was mostly raised by my farther, and I was always outside with him in the garden or in the garage helping him with the car. So I was always a tom boy, I didn’t play with barbies like my older sister did, and I didn’t wear dresses or pink or wear makeup or girly things like that. So when I started high school is when people actually started commenting on it, I usually kept my hair short or braided back because I didn’t like to do it. I wore baggy shirts and jeans because they were comfortable to me. But everyone assumed I was gay and trying to dress like a man. But that wasn’t the case at all, so it was hard going through high school because everyone thought I was someone I wasn’t. Once I got older in college I started to dress different and act different, and most people who I know from high school are always shocked to see me, because I guess I look more like a lady.
As far as style goes I know if you wear certain colors or designs it shows who you are on the inside. Most people if they are sad or angry inside they tend to wear a lot of black, they don’t want to stand out or be apart of everyone else. And for some people that’s not the case they just happen to like the color black, and it looks good on them. For me I like to wear lots of different colors because it kinds of represents my attitude and randomness. As a girl I think it also is better for us, because we can wear any color we want and people wont really look at us bad. But if a guy wears pink, they think he is feminine or gay. I think Just certain people should stick to certain colors so they wont be confused by other people.
