"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)
Simply put, names and labels don't matter. They don't change who you are. Others can call you what they will, but that doesn't change who you actually are. You can be called "masculine" for being chivalrous and liking to open the doors for your girlfriend. For being the one who carries the heavier things because you're stronger. But that is all just a title. You don't need to conform to it. You define what the title is--don't let it define you. Being defined as "masculine" does not automatically mean you have become one of those short-haired, biker lesbians who wear boxers and grunt like men (nothing wrong with that). You're still the same girl who likes to wear skirts and receive flowers. Don't let other people tell you who you are. You show them. Those who are worth it will understand.
