As a boy who is always described as being unmanly, I often have conversations with others like this:

Them: “Why do you   41   like that?”

Me: “I don’t   42   understand—act like what?”

Them: “Like a(n)   43  ! Why do you feel the need to move like a fairy and have a womanish voice?”

At first, I wouldn’t know how to   44  . Now I know better; I simply call them out and then have a quick   45   chat that goes something like:

“Why is it that having a   46   voice and very expressive body movements is considered to be ‘girly’? Another   47   is why being ‘girly’ is a negative feature? If anything, it   48   be a praise. Women are amazingly talented and manage to   49   to society in many ways!”

Anyway, I never understand why my communication-based actions are   50   with a specific gender (*别) . I don’t know why some girls get side-eyed when they decide not to wear a dress to a formal event.

Once I asked a mother carrying a cute baby, “Is it a girl or a boy?” She looked at me   51   impatience, and said, “She’s   52   a girl; look at the   53   of her clothing.”

Now, I guess people who act outside of their gender roles like me are seen as threatening because we   54   a system that generally forces us to choose to be one way or another.   55  , there is no “middle ground” that is accepted in society when people express one’s gender.

Some girls don’t want to wear makeup, and some boys   56   to wear makeup—   57   it! I have only been alive for 18 years,   58   it is extremely evident that enforced gender roles do not only affect those who   59   the gender roles like me, but also those who give their blood, sweat and health just to fit in with them. The world would be a less   60   place if we could simply recognize that gender and gender expressions are not fixed concepts.
