We Are All Just 'People'
☕ Parents' Convenience
My father wanted a boy, so
it seems he wanted me to be interested in things like playing catch, Kamen Rider, and jet planes.
My mother didn't wear skirts much and loved marathons, so
the clothes she bought for me were always like tracksuits.
☕ My Side of the Story
Every time I hung out with friends in casual clothes,
I was envious of my friends who wore cute outfits.
Clothes like a boy's were comfortable, but
the protagonists in manga were never girls who wore boyish clothes.
Even laid-back me eventually
realized that I didn't own a single girl-like outfit.
At the same time,
I finally realized that there were no other girls who wanted to talk about baseball, jet planes, or the latest home appliances.
☕ Why is that?
My friends were,
'Raised to be girl-like'
by their parents, and my parents didn't expect that from their daughter at all.
☕ 'People' is fine, isn't it?
Now, I think about it.
(While thinking about 'What is fuel efficiency?'),
'What does it mean to be girl-like?'
I ask.
As I am now,
whether a girl wears a skirt or pants,
or a boy does the same,
I don't think anything of it.
'If you wear what you like and are happy, that's all that matters!'
That is what I think.
At the same time,
'I'm a girl, but I have some masculine traits'
'I'm a boy, but sometimes I have feminine ways of thinking'
I think that is perfectly fine, too.
People are not machines,
so it is natural for there to be many different patterns.
Whether you are male or female,
whether you feel a contradiction in your gender or not,
all of it combined is who you are.
Also, in terms of love, it is fine for everyone to be different.
It just so happens that the combination that can have children is male and female,
but that doesn't mean other combinations are wrong.
There is no reason for anyone to blame you.
Be proud of who you are ٩( ''ω'' )و
Besides,
people with physical disabilities
and people with developmental disabilities
I think it is fine to just see them all as 'people' in the same way.
Regarding the following part,
even if it doesn't reach the people who hurt my dear note friends,
I hope it reaches the note friends who were hurt.
There is no hierarchy, and
there is no looking down on others or being looked down upon.
We should just complement each other's weaknesses
and live with a kind heart of 'mutual support'.
Even if someone heartless appears,
it's okay, don't feel down⭐
You'll be just fine💖
The day will come when your own special treasure
helps someone else with their weakness.
It's all about 'mutual support'.
So let's watch over each other with a smile～٩( ''ω'' )و
☕ Afterword
"I'm going to choose the clothes I want to wear, so
take me shopping.
I won't wear the clothes Mom buys anymore."
I declared with the momentum of my rebellious phase, and as a reaction,
I tried buying puff-sleeved clothes,
three-layered (heavy) cute clothes,
clothes that were almost gothic, ← popular with girls. Boys (@_@)
punk rock style clothes, ← very unpopular with boys. Popular with girls.
office lady style clothes, ← popular with both men and women. Why!?
I enjoyed buying all sorts of clothes.
Thinking about it now,
I'm glad I was able to enjoy wearing various clothes in my teens🎵
☕ Finally
I wrote this note
for my note friends who have had a hard time recently.
And, being the greedy person I am, I wish for even more.
That those who read this note
can feel even a little bit kinder (*'▽')ノ💖
Thank you for reading until the end❣
☕ Rinako-san featured this (*'▽')ノ
Rinako-san, who is a yoga instructor and currently studying acupuncture, introduced it.
It is a very, very wonderful note (^^♪
May Rinako-san's kindness and perspective spread further💖
☕ small design also introduced me (and on the same day, too!)
It's an amazing coincidence, but small design also introduced me 🎵
This note also features introductions of other people, and
each one is a lovely, heartfelt introduction.
It's amazing that someone in the sciences is such a good writer, isn't it? ← Is that a prejudice?!
Please, definitely give it a read (^^♪
