My mother would instantly tell me: "This is boy's clothes, so you can't wear this, it's unacceptable"]]> 2022-09-23 11:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/myname26092003/miniessay1/wish/2310311754 myname26092003 https://padlet.com/myname26092003/miniessay1/wish/2310323633 Consequently, I grew up thinking that pink is only for girls and blue is usually for boys.

It's then that the word "beautiful" or "handsome" can't be used to compliment my friends anymore.]]> 2022-09-23 12:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/myname26092003/miniessay1/wish/2310432173
