    I've seen quite a few videos doing this, so I thought I would create a thread for it. There are many misconceptions about people based on stereotypes. What are those misconceptions? I shall provide an example of what this thread is supposed to be since I'm not very good at explanations.

    Example
    I'm a bisexual, but I'm not just going through a phase.
    I'm a Catholic, but I'm not homophobic.

    Feel free to write any misconceptions about any stereotypes you like. :slight_smile:

    I'm kind to people, sometimes it's too much, but I hate most people around me.

    I'm a big brother, but I won't threaten my sister's potential SOs with a shotgun. (I will threaten them with everything else.)
    I'm in the closet, but I'm still proud.
    I was a vegetarian, but I'm not against hunting (or eating meat).
    I'm a teacher, but I never tried in school.
    I'm a geek, but I'm not a gamer. (<- this stereotype actually kinda bugs me!)

    !!!

    In 12th grade my friends and I were in the "Women's Awareness Club" at our school - we had different discussion topics about women's rights, global issues, etc. etc. A very cool idea but it was all painfully basic feminism with no nuance or like, intersectional thought put into it. For one of the last meetings of the year we made "I'm a feminist, BUT..." cards to put up on the bulletin board to dispel stereotypes about feminists. All the girls around me were writing stuff like "BUT... I still shave!" "BUT... I'm not a lesbian!" "BUT... I don't hate men!" Felt totally alienating at the time as a girl-loving, hairy and openly angry/argumentative chick.

    The girl I was dating at the time runs is running the club now, though, and she's putting in a ton of effort to make it more intersectional and inclusive.

    Uh. Anyways.

    I'm bisexual, but I'm not promiscuous or into threesomes. (I hate it when people assume that I am)
    I'm an introvert, but I'm not anti-social.
    I'm quiet, but I'm not dumb.
    I'm scandinavian, but I don't like surströmming or any other kind of rotten fish :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm a lesbian,but I'm not some crazy misandrist (however I'm all about equality not superiority that's why I'm a feminist because I believe in equal rights for both sexes) .

    I'm a girl, but I'm not limited to just having friends that are girls, I can have friends that are guys too.

    I'm a white girl, but I'm not a talking map to where the nearest Starbucks is.

    I'm a girl, but I'm not keen on wearing dresses.

    I'm a person who's bad at maths, but I'm not lazy.

    I'm a left-handed person, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable of using tools on my own.

    I am biromantic, but I'm not going through a phase.
    I am a little overweight, but I don't eat junk food or lie around lazily.

    I am white but I am not in love with Starbucks or McDonald's.
    I am asexual but I was not sexually abused in the past.
    I am panromantic but I am not trying to be a 'special snowflake'.
