No one is better than you, you are who you are, do not let anyone doubt your skills, your skin color, gender, or your money define your potential or your ability to fight in a world where discrimination is most common.
A world where those who consider themselves different have to fight much harder to achieve the same as those considered part of “normality”. Normality, is it always established by the culture in which you rely on the most common, but even if it’s more common, it doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do or the best.
- Many times we cease to be Ana.
- Carlos.
- Maria or Antinio to become crazy.
- African.
- Poor or transgender.
- We cease to be people to become labels.
- As if what we are could be defined in a word.
- As if what we are is something like this rare or special that we must first point out.
If you are not of the same race does not mean that you are inferior, but simply that you have a different color, if it is not of the same sex or that my gender is not in the classic male-female division, does not imply that it is an excluded or a sex offender, but that my gender identity is different from what is statistically equal to the genitals of my body. The person who doesn’t have great financial means is not a wandering or uneded person, but has a more complicated life than yours.
But most of all, you’re who you are or who you are, no one can tell you that you can’t do something or that you’re worthless just because you’re different, not like him. Capacity is not dictated by gender, race or wealth.
Being a woman doesn’t stop you from becoming a scientist or billing as a man, being transgender, bisexual, gay or lesbian doesn’t invalidate you being with children, it’s not a disease, it’s a sexual option and not being unemployed doesn’t mean you’re a bad worker, it’s that you haven’t had a chance to show off your talent.
In order for anyone to feel marginalized again, in order to have to fight more than others to not be like most, it would be wise to educate children about diversity. It shows that the variety is good and that it gives color to the world.
Then they will grow up knowing that they will always have the same opportunities in life, regardless of gender, race or financial situation. This way no one will be able to tell you who is worth the most because they will all be of equal value to society.
All this on paper is very nice, but very difficult to achieve, small gestures can start to change the world, and even more so if they are transmitted to future generations, through play or reading it is possible to teach various values that help accept diversity.
It’s adults who sexualize colors or dolls. For a child the rose is just a color, the fact that this color is considered?Girl? This is a description we show you. For a girl, a small car is just that, a toy; being considered “typical of boys” is a sense we attribute to it.
For a child, makeup is just makeup that unleashes their imagination. The sexualization of these paintings belongs only to the adult world. A girl who fights and wants to be a footballer doesn’t make her a girl, it means she only likes to chase a ball.
Educating by respecting children’s freedom of choice does not harm them, it only benefits them, it teaches us that no one is better than anyone else, we are simply different people.
