Gutsy Goose

I am a boy and I love Ballet. I know I am outnumbered by the girls in my class, but that just makes me feel more special.

My mom can kick ass. So can I.

Cooking is not a girl thing, it's a basic life skill. I am a boy and I can cook. And might I add, rather well!

I am not a tomboy. I am just a girl who loves skateboarding. You can call me a skater girl if you want.

Nothing wrong with Pink. Pink is lovely. But not all girls like pink.

I run wild. I run free. I guess you are right, I do 'run like a girl'. Try a little harder, and maybe you might be able to too.

I am kind. Just like my daddy.

I am a girl who codes. Guess what! There are more like me. One day there will be many of us. And hey, coding is not just for boys!

I am a boy. And I can wear all the pink I want. What does that say about me? Absolutely nothing, except that I like pink. That is all.  

I know I am ‘cute’. But I am more than just that. And I certainly don’t need to be saved. I am NOT a princess!

Think I am small and weak? Think again!

Girls can be firefighters too! I know, surprising right? One day, it won’t be so surprising.

What do you mean ‘I cry like a girl’? I am a boy and I think it's ok for boys OR girls to cry sometimes. I think it is important that I learn to express my emotions. Otherwise, I might bottle them up and suffer in silence someday. Also, are you trying to imply that boys doing something ‘like a girl’ is somehow a bad thing? Please stop saying that. I would like to keep myself protected from any gender stereotype you might unknowingly be suffering from.
