I cross the border of talk about my sexual preferences with my catholic parents. It was not easy at the first moment, but as you mention, it ends good through dialogue and concepts clarification :) Pd: salgan del closet cabrxs ❤️

a)personality and education b)when I arrived at university my origins were "very visible" by my way of talking and also I was more naive in regards to social relationships c) I believe that my capability to accept diversity? or not be discriminatory? not sure to put it that way but it doesn´t bother me a lot that exists people that think differently from me.

Identity Borderlands: The way gender roles are constructed in society forced me to change myself in order to fit the "correct" labels. Today I still find parts of me that aren't authentic to who I want to be.

I had to go against the family thoughts towards sexuality, I got adviced to not accept or share this thoughts, for this I got humilliated by the way I express or get close to others. Anyway, I have not solved this problem yet, but ignoring the toxicity also helps to have peace in your mind, at least :P
(I rather believe that we can't change everyone, so let's make the world the best for us in OUR way).

Being manipulated at such a young age for intercourse. I was feeling like is it that much? And the people around invalidating the situation and also like this was actually too much and a bit traumatic. What helped me to overcome (just a bit, because this experiences stay with you) was to learn about feminism and find a group of women and friends that supported and validated my experiences and feelings. So, having a group that supports you it is crucial for find your own positions, interests, and feeling appreciated and empowered for it. <3

I think I had cross many of the borders since growing up is about going out of the comfort zone, I was in a religious school and later on I didn’t believe myself as a catholic or other religion thing as a respect from people that do it, personality is also changing through years bc of what it means acknowledging differences; latin, gender, sexuality, identity and politics (thinking about feminism), so they way I see it, it is about learning, respecting, and hearing about the things you want to change or embrace to be a better social person. (personal thought: I am still crossing borders)

It was difficult to start walking again without crutches after 2 years of using them. It's difficult to be normal in this uninclusive world. I had to do a lot of training to be who I am right now :) We go Jim B]

a) Coexist with people who want everyone to be and think like them, instead of respecting my (and others) opinion.

b) During this degree I have known many people with different perspectives on certain topics, i.e. political perspectives. Some people respected that I do not agree with any of them (in the case of political perspectives), but others categorized me as a "clown" for not thinking as somebody from the left-side or right-side.
c) What helped me to cross this border is the respect and tolerance that I have been developing since I was at school.
