gender

I knew a young child who had no idea who they were meant to be. They never felt safe nor happy. They never felt like themself but they didnt know who that was. They told people they didnt feel like they belonged but theyd just brush it off saying its nonsense. Pink is for girls and blue for boys is what they all said to the child. but what if gender stereotypes werent a thing? What if assigned genders werent a thing? What if they didnt have to pick one or the other but could be somewhere inbetween? What if they could just be without being identified as someone who likes skirts or someone who likes football but someone who can just be.
