I have never believed in stereotypes. Or well, if I'm watching TV, I will point out the most obvious ones just for fun, but that's it.
I've actually learned to think that if something goes by the stereotype, it's usually the opposite.
Confused yet? Perfect.
There is one stereotype that confuses and worries me, though. Every gay person seems to say oh, I was like five when I realized I was different. Ever heard of that? I have for like a million times. And it's not exactly making me feel better. Especially a few years ago, when I was reading everything I could find to figure myself out just a little bit...
Because seriously, I've always been "normal". I played with Barbie dolls, all of my friends have been girls, I never felt like I didn't fit in, I never felt like I'm boy-ish...
I know it doesn't mean anything. I am what I am and stupid stereotypes can't change that. But it's still weird for me.
This is the point where, some years ago, I would've asked myself what went wrong?. Uhm, yeah, I used to be a part-time homophobe. And please don't get me wrong. It started when I realized I fell for a girl. Then I just had to suck it up and face the facts: I can make my life really hard with my attitude or stop being an ass towards myself. (Guess which one I chose?)
