Gender Trouble and More

Never say "you're not girly enough" to a girl, or "you're not manly enough" to a boy.  What is "enough," anyway?  But regardless of what people say or don't say, the most horrifying thing is for a girl to think, "I'm not girly enough," and for a boy to think, "I'm not manly enough."  What use is it when one strangles oneself with a preconceived rope of baseless assumptions?

Pink is not for girls, and blue is not for boys.  A quiet person is not anti-social, and a loud person isn't necessarily social.  Not all birds fly; not all flying birds are the same kind of birds, although their differences also do not follow any black-and-white patterns.

What?  This is the world.
