    My mum and relatives made fun of me for playing with a Star Wars toy and I'm a girl. I wish I spoke up :(

    As a teacher it seems my students are never happy by my appearance. " Why is your hair short? You're supposed to have long hair like a girl." " Bowties are for boys" " Why aren't you wearing makeup?" All I can do is set an example for them by teaching them that a boy and a girl don't have to look a certain way to be their gender.

    "Boys should never cry" One of the most common stereotypes Then at the mother's death or father's death they should laugh?

    I love the ending part. Give your children options

    My grandparents always compare me to my cousin, because she likes long nails, getting her nails done, long hair and wigs, perfume and lip gloss. But I dont like any of that? I told my grandma that "not all girls like the same thing" now she thinks I'm "special" somehow. I like playing games (all day lol), I like playing sports, I dont like dresses and I love baggy shirts and jogging pants, I dont see purses as something fashionable for me, and i HATE perfume. my grandma is literally scared if I become a transgender or a tomboy like my cousin, she thinks something is wrong with me in my head because i simply dont like that stuff and she hopes that I will like "girly" things when I'm older (which I will not)

    Thank God my mum allowed me to choose what I did and played with when I was younger
  • About the video , if your a girl or a boy , it doesn’t mean that you should do all stuffs that girls and boys should do, you can do whatever you want , and in real life I’m a girl , but it doesn’t mean that I have to play with dolls , I play in my devices , but thanks for teaching💗💗

    Luckily for Madeline she likes to things her way like being independent and adventurous. Madeline doesn't like to do perfect lady like activities. But thankfully a lot of things have changed since then we honor our uniqueness and we should be proud of who we are as individuals.

    I actually used to play tag or soccer and hide and seek as a kid and I had more boy friends than girls

    Who else watching this and realising that your parents are buying certain stuff for you and pushing you towards certain things because of your gender

    If I ever have a child I will give my girl (if I have one) both trains and cars, and also dolls and arts.
  • I think this video handled the subject very well. My parents from a young age encouraged me (a female but goes by they/them) to play with Barbie dolls and My Little Ponies, when I got older I realised I didn’t like that stuff. Thats when I realised I was non binary cause I didn’t feel like a girl or a guy, I haven’t come out yet because my parents stereotype genders a lot (example when my younger brother was born, my grandma made a little cardigan for him and it was yellow, and according to my parents “yellow is a girls colour” and they didn’t put it on him when he was born, they said “Its a nice cardigan but I’m not putting yellow in a boy” I felt so bad for my grandma because she spent ages making it for them only for them to yell at her for “normalising feminine boys”) and I don’t know how they would handle it, and also they always judge me when I do something “not lady like” such as when I didn’t cross my legs when I was sitting down (I man spread cause I think its comfortable) and they said “Ew your such a tramp act more lady like,”
