Stereotypes Of Being A Cheerleader

My sex is a female, and I performed my gender by being a cheerleader. Stereotypically speaking when we hear the word Cheerleader, we automatically think of a girl cheering. I was a cheerleader for about 8 years, until I started competing cheering there was only girl cheerleaders. Many people made fun of the guys that cheered with me, but little did they knew that they [the people] were making fun of his “so called” sexuality, and not his sex. Cheering is usually just associated with just females; although, we have began to accept males into that position, as well. Today in our society, many people use their gender to identify their sex, but your gender does not identify you it is your sex. Gender and sex are two completely different things

that makes a person. In our Southern society, we have began to accept many genders that did not go with his or her sex. Our society, has made gender and sex interchangeable; although, there are many other stereotypes that can define us.

Another way that I show my sex through my gender is by the way that I dress.

Typically speaking, most girls dress in bright colors, such as pink, and guy dress in blue and dark colors. I usually dress feminine, but I will also dress like a Tomboy. I will dress in bright colors, including pink and yellow, but also in sweatpants and basketball shorts. Although, I am not fully pursuing my gender as society would want me too; my sex is a female and it should not have to be defined through my sex. A girl can dress like a guy to a certain extinct, but when a guy dresses like a girl there is a problem because of the way society stereotype

guys.

In our society, we tend to get sex, gender, and sexual oriented mixed up; however, we should educate ourselves instead of calling people out. We [people of Southern culture] tend to call people out for not using their gender to show his or her sex. When we, the people, call out a guy for being feminine we are stereotyping him for his sexual orientated, and that is not always correct. Sex is what we are in our DNA, and gender is the way we physically show our sex. In today’s world, we stereotype females from male by his or her gender and not his or her sex.
