you don’t have a personal responsibility to break stereotypes about your demographics. you don’t have to be the perfect representation. you don’t have to be a good representation. you are allowed to exist as you are, even if it somehow fits into stereotypes.

you’re allowed to have your experiences, hobbies, expressions, traits, problems, symptoms, etc. even if they’re stereotyped. you are not a living stereotype. you are a person. a person who happens to have some traits. you’re not making the world less diverse. your existence already contributes to diversity.
