People who doesn’t share the same sex or gender identity us we do, is the opposite gender.
1.) In my opinion, we are all similar, yet very distinct from one another. We differ from others by our unique personalities and appearances, as well as our beautiful flaws. We also have our own talents, interests, ideas and various point of views, and I think those are one of the things that makes us different from others.
2.) Like I said, we are all similar, yet very distinct from one another, one of the similarities we have from others is that we are human, we have free will to make our own decisions, take on challenges and other stuff. We also get to choose our own path, our own passion, and I think that is very interesting and amazing to hear. Also, scientifically speaking, we all share the same 99.9% DNA as others do, no matter their ethnicity, gender, and many more.
3.) I don’t think that gender, ethnicity, culture, and religion has anything to do with friendship and it doesn’t “CHANGE” the meaning of friendship. Friendship is when you trust each other and support each other, during both positive and negative times—that is what I call friendship.
4.) I don’t necessarily change my actions and other activities when I’m around people of the opposite gender, but when I’m around people who are a part of the LGBTQ community, I tend to act and speak more carefully, to avoid getting their feelings hurt—especially when they are someone I’m not close to. I usually give them the feeling that they are loved and cared for because I know that being a part of the LGBTQ community is not easy, unless they tell me to talk and act casually with them, then I will do so and treat them how they want to, so that it would not be that awkward and to make them feel comfortable.
