But it was not always seen as ok, I remember girls laughing at me for what I wore and boys telling me I couldn’t do things with them because I was a girl.

dark morning, as I was standing by the warm, cozy heater in our living room I asked my mother a question: “am I a boy?”. I don’t remember her exact answer, yet I'm sure she assured me that I was indeed a girl. Although always felt like a girl and was drawn to feminine products I feared I wasn’t a girl. Looking back, this was because I didn’t know the anatomical differences between boys and girls. The image I chose for this event is a diagram of the male and female anatomy. This relates to my…

Everybody else except me and another guy in the locker room, about ten boys, turned around and started to insult and argue with him. They called him some very mean things and told him to go back to his farm where he belonged. I met eyes with the other silent guy and we both shook our heads. The poor freshman seemed to lack the awareness that he was in a locker room filled with people who had posted on Instagram their…
