name calling

Do video sharing sites like You Tube encourage violence and crime? To what extremes would one go to earn themselves a few minutes of fame?

I can't dance. I'm six feet tall, lanky, and Scandinavian. Rhythm is just not going to happen for me. I seldom dance in public, because on occasion, someone will ask me teasingly, "Are you epileptic or something?" So I tell them that, yes, as a matter of fact, I am epileptic, and as such I know for a fact that what I was doing on the dance floor just now is nothing like an epileptic seizure.

It’s something I see every single day. When I go online to engage in debate, when I get in discussions of current events in Economics class, even when I listen to speeches made by the leaders of our great nation, I see it. What I see is the polarization of our country into two camps. Members of each camp are convinced they are right, and find the ideas of the other camp to be ridiculous.

I was known as the quiet tomboy in my class since elementary school. I didn't know English, but I understood what Tomboy meant. I dressed like a boy, my hair was short, I liked to play sports with the boys, and I was addicted to games. What hurt me the most was that people assumed I was a lesbian, a transvestite...or an alien.

Why do people think I am a male? Several times here I have been called a boy, I had a picture of myself with long hair and still I get called a male.

Do I give off masculine vibes? Or do you simply mistake forwardness or whatever as a male trait.

How is it we can assume in such a sanitized environment of typed words that anyone is one sex or another.
