A high school girl with short hair, has a crush on girls, how does she view stereotypes? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

A high school freshman, a girl, faced unfair treatment after cutting her hair short and developing feelings for other girls. Is this not allowed, or is it merely due to stereotypes about girls?

I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect.

Stereotypes are a key part of how we learn and manage social situations. They help us quickly categorize new things into our existing cognitive system, saving us a lot of mental energy and allowing us to process information more efficiently.

This is also the "scientific" rationalism and the social needs based on it. A teacher once pointed out that medicine is defined in this way, and psychiatry is also determined in this way.

For instance, there's a normal range for blood pressure, and anything above or below that is considered high blood pressure. But when it comes to each person, this is just a reference point and not an absolute diagnostic indicator.

How someone acts depends on whether it's appropriate in the situation.

But most of the time, we rely too much on stereotypes, believe too much in the majority of "science" and "statistics," and are too lazy to spend a little more time and effort on those phenomena that are different from the standard and the majority.

As individuals, we're often labeled with different tags: girl, student, heterosexual, southern, XX. If we want to be heard and seen, I can't think of anything else to do except to be determined to be ourselves, to tell them over and over again what we look like, and not to be defined by the outside.

Perhaps there's another way. You do yours, I'll do mine, and I can even pretend to cooperate with you a little, but I just need to know what kind of person I am.

I hope this is helpful. Best regards,

Hello, I'm happy to be able to answer your question. I hope that some of my suggestions will be helpful to you.

It might be the case that this situation is not necessarily due to stereotypes.

It may be the case that the pace of social change has not been sufficient to keep up with this shift.

Stereotypes often refer to the idea that girls generally have long hair, boys generally have short hair, girls generally like pink, and boys generally like blue.

It's possible that when someone meets you and realizes you're a girl, they might naturally think you should have long hair or give you gifts that are pink-themed without asking your preferences.

For those who may not be as up to date with current thinking on this topic, it's worth noting that there have always been people with these preferences.

As an example, it can be observed that since ancient times, there has been a preference for both short and long hair among girls.

From ancient times to the present, there have always been those who have expressed a preference for pink and those who have expressed a preference for blue.

Perhaps it would be fair to say that people's acceptance has not reached this level.

As an illustration, in the past, both men and women were not permitted to cut their hair, which was regarded as a part of their body that they had received from their parents.

It would seem that, at this time, if someone is walking down the street with short hair, even boys may be open to criticism from others with regard to their appearance.

In today's society, it is not uncommon to see boys with short hair on the street. If we were to encounter a boy with long hair, it might be perceived as somewhat unusual.

There has been a notable shift in attitudes, with fewer and fewer critical voices being heard. In the past, someone might have commented that a boy looked particularly effeminate with long hair. However, in today's society, such a remark would be less likely to be made.

It would seem that the same is true for girls. It is often the case that girls on the street all have long hair. When a girl with short hair appears, people may previously have thought that girls should look like girls and not have short hair. However, it seems that there are fewer and fewer critical voices nowadays. People may now think that the girl with short hair is cool and handsome.

It would seem that such acceptance varies from region to region and from age group to age group.

For instance, when the topic of homosexuality arises, members of the gay community tend to be accepting because they recognize that it is a natural aspect of human diversity.

It would seem that the circle of homosexuals, for example, fujoshi, have a particularly strong tolerance for this concept and do not feel that there is anything bad about it.

On the other hand, if someone is unfamiliar with these circles or comes from an older generation with more traditional views, they might find it challenging to accept this situation. When they interact with members of the LGBTQ+ community, they may hold opposing views and even express criticism.

I believe that in the future, more people will be willing to embrace a more inclusive attitude, extending acceptance to everyone's diverse preferences, including interests and hobbies, as well as sexual orientation.

For a girl who is fond of girls with short hair, she is simply an ordinary girl, a perfectly normal person.

I believe that everyone has the potential to perfect their own three views and perceptions. As long as we do not harm ourselves or others, and firmly follow our own perceptions in dealing with others, we can all benefit from doing so.

It is my hope that everyone and society as a whole can become more and more inclusive, and that everyone can freely choose their preferences and lives.

I would like to express my love for the world and all of its inhabitants.

A hug for you first! First of all, I want to emphasize that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and equality, regardless of their gender, hairstyle, or other physical characteristics.

It's so important to remember that it's unfair and incorrect to judge and discriminate against someone's preferences or inclinations!

Regarding the issue you mentioned, I think it reflects the stereotypes and gender biases that exist in society. These stereotypes and biases can lead to misunderstandings and negative reactions to certain behaviors or characteristics. But we can change that!

However, this does not mean that these stereotypes and prejudices are valid or should be accepted.

Short haircuts and having a crush on girls are personal choices and inclinations that should not be used as a reason for unfair treatment. Everyone should be free to express their identity and preferences without being judged or discriminated against by others. And that's a good thing!

If you have been treated unfairly, it is not your fault, nor is it because of any choices you have made or characteristics you have. It may be due to ignorance, prejudice, or stereotypes on the part of others—but you are not defined by these things!

Remember, your value and dignity should never be defined by the opinions of others!

If you are feeling troubled or in need of help, I highly recommend that you seek support! You can talk to a trusted friend, family member, or teacher about your feelings, or you may consider seeking professional counseling.

They can help you work through these emotions and challenges. And you know what? You're not alone! There are always people willing to help.
