quote
“I was not raised to follow the rules. The only rule I was asked to follow was to not act like a girl. I was not allowed to show emotions. I was taught that showing emotions is a sign of weakness. The only emotions that I was allowed to show was that of anger and aggressiveness.”

“Most of us live a life of mediocrity. We spend our lives doing what we are expected to do. In the early stages of our lives, we try to settle in a job. Then we look for a life partner. After forty, we try to work towards our retirement funds. This is the story of the lives of most of the people around us. There might be little variances, but for the most part, the story is the same.”

“When I was born, my parents were not aware that they were necessarily determining my behavior. They followed everyone around them. If I had been a girl, they would have painted my room pink instead of blue. Their attitude towards me would have been entirely different. All of this because they just wanted me to fit in. They wanted me to be 'normal.' They wanted to give me a 'normal' childhood. They did not know that they were paving the way for me to lead a 'normal' life in doing so. In a way, they were instructed by the society to do so.”

“When I was assigned the color blue, I was assigned how I should live. I was assigned a specific type of clothes, toys, and interests. Each individual has different capabilities and hence different interests. Imagine what would happen if someone with no hands would be asked to draw? He might achieve it somehow, but it would be an excruciating and tiring process. This is what happens when we develop a confident expectation from either Gender.”
