“What kind of boy does ballet?” Tom Holland did and yeah he’s Spider man now
haha true
Lol
Lots of boys do ballet lmao
But that's an awesome fact. Thanks. 😎
Lots of male football players.
"What kind of boy does ballet?" A LOT sir, a LOT. It's a career that requires incredible physical capability and discipline
Not to mention that its a male who invented ballet
Mads Mikkelson 😩🥰
And it’s totally fine but I think this boy wants to be a girl
Football players need to know ballet, from what I recall.

Fun fact: In old times, pink was considered to be a very masculine color.
Yep
And now it’s considered “Gay”, most of the time.
And thanks to Hitler its not anymore
It was a boys colour as it was the lighter version of red which was the typical male colour at the time
@@lickmyloafbruh that, and it's a color for girls.
i had a nephew that played barbie dolls, pink, does ballet when he was little and he grew up straight and dance for a living
Indeed. I don't like this unhealthy pattern of making people be gay because they like certain toys/activities/dress. That doesn't change your sexual orientation nor your gender. I get that some people feel they ARE a different gender or s.o. but it does not need apply. The same goes for girls. Some girls dress masculine, I liked boys and girls toys as a girl, sometimes still dress masculine because it's easy lol But I'm happily straight and married. When younger I questioned myself because being gay was a trendy taboo. Cool because it's different and I felt so different already but alas that was society pushing me in that direction. Not true to who I am.
I agree. Sometimes, judging someone for liking something different can cause that person into thinking they are not in the right gender when they are. My cousin loves to hunt and use guns, but she is totally straight.
@@ari3lz3pp Yeah, but that's one of the tools the enemy uses. He uses the latest trends or even people's judgement to confuse people into thinking God is wrong for how he created them. Now, some standards are there for a reason, but I believe we can be flexible with how children choose their toys as long as it can head towards a plan God has created for them.
he must be on the down low
My lil nephew is obsessed with MOANA ...he loves everything Moana but we just have to accept it ....
"What kind of boy does ballet?" Kim Jongin, Kai of EXO, did ballet as a kid and now he's one of the best dancers in the kpop industry.
So did Tom Holland, Mads Mikkelsen, Arnold Schwarzenegger,...
I think Park Jimin also
@@daynee26 he did contemporan dance
Yaaas
@@kalemorales23 😂
"What kind of boy does ballet?" He must know nothing of ballet. For the people in the comment section who don't get it: People who learn ballet perform ballets. The most popular ballets feature male characters. So when I said "he must know nothing of ballet", I meant he must have never seen or heard of one or else he would have known there are male dancers in them and that yeah, probably more than a few of them were boys themselves when they started learning. Sheesh.
Yeah like there are guy dancers in ballet...
I consider any man or boy who learns and performs ballet to be manlier than most men.
In Asian that isn't the case. It is not only ballet there is Indian classical called Bharatanaatiyam even though there are boys learning it people see it more feminine and criticise boys who learning it
@@ikeepscreamingbutgodwontan3132 And many of them are in quite excellent physical condition to do what they do.
For REAL
This made me cry, i remember when i was kid and i was shunned and hated by everyone for liking stuff like barbie, including my family. The only one who didn't was my grandma (she would even wake me up to watch a barbie movie if it was already airing and i am still asleep 😂)
I'm sorry you were treated like that. Though your grandma is a blessing. ♥️ I was lucky to be able to convince my mom to get me some boys toys. But I also know my husband was able to play with dolls (though he had sisters but they were allowed to share whatever toys). His family thought he was gay but he wasn't. Lol My family wanted me to be gay and because it was "cool but different" to be gay when I was younger I thought maybe I was because I get so different and got along with that community. But I just am not. Lol Stereotypes kill freedom. We should be allowed to be individuals not just genders. #androgyny. I'm a human. I happen to be a straight woman but that doesn't mean I need to fit in anyone's box as to what that is. You don't need to fit in a box either!
your granma was/is a wonderful person ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story! God bless your Grandma!
Aww your grandma🥺
I completely agree. I remember being very young, around three years old and I said that pink was my favorite color. The men in my family freaked out and tried to convince me that pink was just a color for girls. I didn’t understand why at first but I still remember that to this day. I’m not gay but I do enjoy some traditionally feminine things. I used to have to hide my enjoyment of shows that were aimed towards girls because I felt that my family would think something is wrong with me. After a while I realized that I shouldn’t hide what I like because it wasn’t helping anything. My family, for the most part, has learned to be more accepting even if we sometimes have our disagreements. It’s important to remember that being yourself is all that really matters and just because someone can’t compute that a straight boy can enjoy more feminine things or vice versa doesn’t mean that you should stop enjoying what you love.
Pink can be ANYONE'S color. I mean Timmy Turner rocked it and he has his own tv show. This film looks precious!!!🤧😢🙏
True. By the way Timmy's hat was suppose to be a different color but the artist ran out of the color they wanted to use and used pink instead
Ramsay Bolton's Sigil and fav color was pink
And originally, It was like a boy color.
Pink sweats too 😁
Harry styles rocks pink like no other.. 😍😍😍😍😍 so gorgeous that man is. 😳😊
“What kind of boy does ballet?” The superhero kind sir.
YES!

I like that this is with an Asian father and boys. I think modern dramas like Kdramas and Cdramas make it seem like Asian men are so romantic and heart-fluttering, but the truth is that there is still a lot of gender issues in Asian society, and it's not just in the elder generation. Other cultures have the same problem, too, but it just feels nice to be represented this time.
I agree with you. The gender related issues are totally suger coated in the Asian entertainment industry. Only in recent time we have started to present these social issues little by little. It's still a long way to go, but a start is a welcome thing.
yes that's right. chauvinism is still heavy instilled in asian men. be it educated or uneducated population. women just cant seem to get they equality we deserve.
I’d honestly have them sugarcoated than see the real deal, I have seen enough of it and I don’t need more of those. Also, let’s not forget, they are fictional tv shows 😂 So they can portray people whoever they want to
Honestly the globalization of kdramas is what partly made Asian American men break out from the overly fem and weak image that Hollywood made, so I’m glad for anything at this point 🙄
Yes ! Reading Han Kang Novels like The vegetarian will give you actual insight into the patriarchal machinery of Asian cultures.
That one little boy has a cute voice.
.....mmmmk.....I guess I'm the only one who sees creeper potential here. Lol
Yea, you should be on a watch list somewhere.
Like we just going to ignore the fact that this could have been worded a little bit better.
I love how Disney starts to break stereotypes when it comes to producing it's own movie creations. This is an improvement to the film industry, considering Disney as a creator of movies dedicated majorly to the children and casting childrens and adults as parents for this revolutionary masterpiece.. ❤❤
Completly agree
I'm so happy🙌🏻
🌻✨❤️
Yeah now lol. They’re tryna right their wrongs
No we freaking going backwards .
Anyone can rock pink, Michael Jackson rocked hard in "Billie Jean".
Not today and it depends what you mean
@@DSkehan2004 colour have no genders
But dont complicate things. For children, people like blue for boys and pink for girls. Not everything has to be a war. Not everything need to be an LGBTQRSTD excuse to wage wars and create generals and heroes out of gay men looking for purpose because they can’t get laid.
King Kion Simp Sure. But no one has to set a revolution to renounce and the pink and blue thing, which is not a big deal.
I don't think Michael Jackson is a good example
Ballet was literally created by men and for men dance,women just began dancing ballet in 19 century
Yes it was enjoyed by the elite males who were boy lovers.
@@ToFester Modern ballet was created by King Louis the XIV and was a dance enjoyed by Everyone especially and mostly all men. Not just gay men, it was really masculine.
@@heyitzari8509 King Louis the XIV just like those mostly all men was a boy lover also.
@@ToFester No, he was straight, I believe. All his wives, lovers, and relationships were women and there is no evidence of him being gay (But we honestly still can't assume his sexuality). Also, keep in mind that this was a long time ago, so masculine and feminine things were different from now and back then ballet was used in ballrooms, trained to the rich including Louis (Why he was nicknamed the sun king) and was for men only because they saw it as something masculine (Plus it requires strength, discipline, and practice to do ballet, so I guess that's why they thought that). It's the same thing with cheerleading ( President Bush, Eisenhower, and I believe Raegan. Also I think Samuel L. Jackson was a cheerleader? but I don't know about that one), Gymnastics (tome holland was a gymnast and there is cool male gymnast out there), Heels and platforms (butchers and horsemen wore them), The color pink, and makeup (Rich men wore makeup back then). Just because someone expresses themselves doesn't mean it determines their sexuality. Sexuality =/= Gender expression.
Wow, and people still have the audacity to say that they are only for women
Normalize boys being able to like whatever they want without having to be called gay or trans and or be insulted for it tHANK YOU
Ikrrr
^^^ (while also normalizing it being fine if they happen to be gay or trans later in life)
the fact that lgbtq+ community is what people first thought after seeing this video even though the video didn't mention any queer participation and the movie has nothing to do with it just prove the point. society tend to think that masculine man = straight and feminine man = gay and that is very wrong. your masculinity has nothing to do with your sexuality, no matter how much you push the stereotype. fun fact: there's a big BIG population of gay men who did sport, cig, have 'manly' appearance and 'manly' voice and other things that are perceived "masculine" by society.
Right, it’s funny that disney has this on their pride collection when this literally has nothing to do with pride, it’s about how stereotyping is wrong and that interests don’t make you a girl. I happen to be a guy who likes flowers and butterflies and by societal standards am not very “manly” but that doesn’t change the fact and reality that I am a male
Perfectly said
"What kind of boy does ballet?" OF COURSE OUR AMAZING BILLY ELLIOT!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ok maybeeeee I’m judging too early, but cant we call a prince a prince WHILE STILL embracing his supposed ‘feminine’ traits? 😭
Maybe the lil boy wants to be a lil princess 🥺
Well technically it is called The Little Prince an I’m assuming the (SS) are to make it plural because of the two boys.
No, because that wouldn’t appease the woke crowd!
Yes, yes you can be!!
Exactlyy
Ppl need to remember that certain activities, colors, preferences, etc don’t define someone’s sexuality. Pink shouldn’t be considered just for girls, boys liking dolls shouldn’t be considered weird, and girls liking trucks shouldn’t be called abnormal. All these idiotic restrictions upon what we define as only for a certain gender need to be rid of. It just feeds into toxic masculinity and so many other things restricting children and ppl in general
While I don't disagree with letting kids play with what they want, there is no such thing as "toxic masculinity." There is masculinity, and the demonization of it.
@@Murdertron From what I know of the term "toxic masculinity", it has nothing to do with attacking people for being masculine. It's a social construct that forces men to feel they must be invulnerable and macho, leading to self-esteem issues and overcompensation that can cause aggressiveness and damage their relationships. It's not true masculinity, in my opinion - it's a coping mechanism to feel safe in a society full of unfair gender constructs.
“I am coming miss twesa” oh my gawd that took my heart in a blossoming wonderland. Both the boys are so precious
"What kind of boy does ballet?" Sorry sir, Kai did ballet in the past and now he's proved to be one of amazing dancer from EXO
Luo Yunxi also did ballet and Zhu Zhengting has done ballet-like dances, and they’re both absolutely amazing icons in the cpop and cdrama industry!
my brother played with dolls and barbies for the longest Time, watched Winx club and loved pink. He is straight. Preference in children toys or hobbies doesn't define ANYTHING.
What does sexuality have to do with it? There is nothing wrong with being gay
"What kind of boy does ballet?" Well, EXO's Kai did, and yep he's one of the best dancers in KPop now, thank you for asking.
Also Luo Yunxi-and Zhu Zhengting did modern dance that includes beautiful ballet-like dances)-they’re both absolutely amazing icons in the cpop and cdrama industry!
wow, that's why he is so incredible good 😮😮
Park Jimin of BTS also did contemporary and look where he is now
Ballet is not innately feminine - it is innately HUMAN. Any human with a soul can enjoy the combination of music and movement, and doing so does not make one a female or a gay male. Case in point - the muscles, incredible athleticism, and strength it takes to become a male ballet dancer (which requires years of training beginning in childhood). (Sidenote - look up Steven McRae from the Royal Ballet, my favorite male ballet dancer. He's just a fantastic artist!)
Tutus look pretty feminine to me
@@mo.ka.9661 yeah and suits look pretty masculine to me, but anyone can wear them. the point is that these things don’t matter, because it is just a random item we claim for nonsense reasons that certain people should not use
The male ballet dancers also have to play princes, kings, and other male roles in recitals. If the ballet company has mixed gender groups.
Shut up.
Back when I was a boy I wanted to have disney princesses wallpaper along with cars wp. They didn't let me at first. But I insisted and they finally they accepted. When I wanted to play with dolls, they didn't let me again, but I insisted. I always found a way to play with all toys. I like boys at the moment, and they don't let me live my life that way, but I will insist, because I'm a free man, and I can choose whatever the hell I want.
I support you
I also struggle with my sexuality here, it is very difficult to live where this kind of thing is still rejected by the society in here. Well ... I guess I envy to those who can freely express their identity, haha.
Amen 👏🏼👏🏼. Proud of you for being confident and strong in your desire to be yourself.
Sounds like a verdict on male morality. Disrespect from Russia
Love..
For one, there are many "boys'' who does ballet! For two, a colour is just a colour! For three, if a kid like something to do, then who are we to find criticism in it. I think this movie was a must needed thing, which we didn't realize until now. Well done Disney
That’s so true
A lot of football players do ballet it Improves balance and agility.
My mother used to be a ballerina. Natasha Romanoff, before she became Black Widow, was a ballerina. My normaliteer charcter, Quota Polunin the Russian Tiki Dancer is also a ballerina. She eluded the Soviets and saw The Nutcracker ballet number. Now she's friends with Jonah and Fauna.
Why the “(ss)”? Can’t it just be “Prince”? Why does it have to have female pronouns instead of just showing a story of a boy that does ballet that is kind? Maybe it’s addressed in the film, but… ?
I'm assuming they're using that the same way some people use misleading titles on videos - for clickbait. Nobody should be put in a box, not by themselves and not by others.
Virtue signaling and to generate polemic so people will want to see this
Maybe the kid is trans?
@@jetblack4108 no, the whole point is that he’s a boy breaking gender norms. Having a boy who thinks he should be a girl just because he likes to dance is so regressively sexist.
"This is not normal" not normal of what? Being different? It is! We were born different and that's why we are who we are, we need more of these contents to educate children that being different isn't bad as long as you don't hurt others
Yes. And you shouldn't harm yourself either. But that's sorta akward when it comes to the sacrifice of ballet/most sporting endeavors.....🙈😅 Though it's to toughen up and also for some to earn a living. Not just to harm oneself because depressed or have an illness.
Not "born different", but born "unique".
It's a Movie....
You sound like a kid.
Well I agree with you but maybe...this scene is from some other part of the movie...this is just a trailer after all. Watch the full movie then say stuff lol😅
"What kind of boy does ballet?" Mischa Baryshnikov: "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"
Man this makes me sad.. let the boy have pink stuff for god's sake, it's cute!
I just watched the whole thing and the little boy is so cute! It actually ends up pretty wholesome
Given how much of this issue exists in Chinese culture, I’m glad that there is a story that is addressing it. And with a universal message that everyone can understand as well.
I think the biggest problem China has today is communism. Not “social norms”.
@@carsonclyde7789 Really?! What decade are you living? Have you been to China past and present? You should do more research before blabbing something out without properly knowing.
“What kind of boy does ballet?” Park Jimin, and yes he's one of BTS
he didnt do ballet, he did contemporary dance but its similar in dance.
He didn’t tho.
EXO’s Kai did ballet
Luo Yunxi also did ballet and Zhu Zhengting has done ballet-like dances, and they’re both absolutely amazing icons in the cpop and cdrama industry!
Please don't simply throw out facts if u're not sure
To any man that does ballet, I respect u. Fun fact- many professional sports players have to do ballet because it is a very good practice and can help you learn balance, strengthen important muscles, and much more. So yeah. Also this coming from a dancer of 11 years 😁
"What kind of boy does ballet?" Rudolf Nureyev, that's who.
Tom Holland from Spiderman.
you also forgot Dwayne Johnson
@@natalyreyes4132 A fictional character played by Dwayne Johnson is beside the point. The point being that one of the greatest ballet dancers of the 20th century was a world famous male ballet dancer.
@@Ngamotu83 Yeah, but other actors did too. I know plenty of straight guys who did ballet.
@@savannahhague4989 But who do you think set the bar? It was Rudolf Nureyev. He was so famous for ballet that his appearance on The Muppet Show turned it into a program that celebrities wanted to appear on. In terms of male ballet dancers you don't get any bigger than the man who once danced Swan Lake with Miss Piggy.
my grandpa loves barbie movies, I used to watch em with him when I was a kid, I still smn do cuz it reminds me of old times. He says the animation fascinate him a lot and he lives how all the dolls look so beautiful and appreciates the talent
Tell him I love him. Barbie gang unite!!
Wait this looks adorable omg-
Omg so cute
Fact that Disney is finally standing up as a mainstream studio promoting diverse people is so hopeful
Then, why did they decide to put "Love, Victor" on Hulu instead?
Let's not forget they are still a big corpo that only cares about money and monopolizing the entertainment industry
I doubt they'll show this movie in china.
They are following the money like they always have. It's a business move. Not saying it's bad but that's reality. I doubt they are doing it to be ethical. Lol They have had gays before they just weren't the most successful projects.
@@kuddlecat Truth. Their major base of consumers right now either fit that demographic or is into supporting said demographic so it works out. They are taking advantage of a movement to line their pockets. They've had gay characters before it's just been few ad far between plus not majorly successful characters/movies/shows.
THIS. This is the film so many people have been waiting for, for maybe years...20 years...40 years... This film represents all people who felt different when they were smaller. Or who didn’t fit the “stereotypes” of who they were growing up. Personally, I relate to this because I’m gay and always had different interests from everyone else growing up. In elementary school, I grew up hating sports and being forced to play them by my family and peers, and took sewing classes instead and enjoyed them. I felt so different. A movie like this when I was a kid would have helped me so much
"What kind of boy does ballet?" me: EXO KAI- The dancing machine, Idol of idols.
These are the movies which should be promoted on as big level as it could be.. But this is a short-film.. hope one day disney will make a complete movie on such topics.....❤️ Lol
lol?
They will
@@ari3lz3pp Hope so ❤️
If they make money
its short because it is the new propaganda form. Its like a memes for poor people.
Fun fact pink used to actually be the boys color and represent masculinity
This makes me so happy. We should let boys like what they want without being called gay. I’ve seen a lot of girls do “boyish” stuff and wear “boyish” clothes (my mom including), and yet everyone sees it as normal. But when a guy does the same thing, people may call him gay. Also, ballet isn’t just for girls (a male literally invented ballet). Ballet is a dance, a movement of the body, it’s for everyone. And pink is actually considered a masculine color back then. I’m so glad people are getting more open minded, we should let men be feminine without being gay or trans. Also, I love the Asian representation. Well done disney
What's wrong with being gay or trans? Do you have an issue with gay and trans people? How about we try and be tolerant, kind and accepting of all people regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity? The child in this story could very well grow up to be gay or trans or both. In fact I hope they do, it would be wonderful for us as an audience to hear more stories about LGBT youth and their success stories. Do gay and trans people deserve any less respect or admiration than anyone else? No. Because there is nothing wrong with being gay or trans.
this is short is adorable, got me teared up. i wish they made this a movie 😭
"What kind of boy does ballet?" An amazing, wonderful, beautiful boy.
The problem is not that he’s a boy who does ballet...the problem is that bc he’s a boy and does ballet, ppl treat him like a girl and therefore he grows up confused about his gender.....maybe instead of saying “embrace your feminism”, we should be pointing out the masculine pieces of ballet and thus further empowering his ACTUAL gender as a male....and therefore furthering his self image and confidence in it rather than the latter which will simply confuse him. Not a sermon, just a thought ❤️
Exactly
Do you have ANY proof at all for this theory of yours? Because I can assure you its ridiculous. Someones true gender can never be "confused" because you just KNOW who you are. Transgender people KMOW from a very young age for example like every other child does too. They are not confused its you who is confused. I repeat: You cannot confuse a child about their own identity. If he was actually treated as a girl hed get dysphoria because thats not who he is (talking about a cis boy rn I don't know who the boy in the movie will turn out to be). Your notion is not bad but we don't have to reinforce traditional gender roles on people where you can't know if it could hurt them. Sometimes those roles can be good but only for those who actively seek them and want to be that way. Forcing is never good.
This ❤
This is the best comment hands down
@@radiocorrective maybe I should restate as his “biological gender”. People are not created mistakenly. I was born a woman and that was not a mistake, my existence as a woman is not a mistake. This boys existence as a male is not a mistake and my point is that we should reinforce that instead of teaching him that it goes against his nature as a man to enjoy ballet and therefore he must be a girl instead. That’s child abuse imo. We can disagree here as I’m sure we will, but those are my thoughts. If we as a society cannot see that children are being indoctrinated to believe that it’s okay to change their gender…they are self harming themselves bc ppl are telling them they are not good enough as they are, that they MUST be different than they were created and thus it’s okay to switch their gender. Calling is “confused” is a blatant understatement to the emotional and physical trauma this creates in a child. Not to mention MANY of the ppl who suffer from gender identity crises have been heavily traumatized by something. Many psychologists will tell you that the typical response of a sexual abuse victim will question their gender identity and sexuality. What does that say about our society when so many ppl are “coming out”. My instant thought is what traumatized this person and why has no one reached out to help them overcome it. Now of course not EVERY person has experienced something like that, but based off what I have encountered…it’s pretty striking and I’m turn terrifying to know that Hollywood is promoting it so heavily. Again, no hate, but disagreeing opinions for sure. Some food for thought on both ends ❤️

@@jellyrolly contemporary dance has elements of classic ballet. So technically he knows some ballet movements which is why I mention him. I clearly answer boys who knows or can dance ballet movements.

A great movie about a male ballet dancer is "Mao's Last Dancer" I highly recommend it.
I couldn't stop crying watching this short. The little boy cast as Gabriel was the perfect choice! 💙 You can't help but smile when he does, and cry when he cries. This should be a mandatory watch...how many kids I know who this'd have saved from being ridiculed and bullied at school 💔

Can we please have a longer film🥺🥺🥺my heart has never been so touched...I loved watching this
Fun fact: Many professional football players take ballet because it helps with agility and control of the muscles and joints.
So beautiful
i know a boy (younger than me) who was at my last afterschool who LOVED dancing and pink. people would say that its a girl color and he'd just snap back that he loves the color. i always liked how he didn't care what others thought about him liking dancing and pink.
Yep. I'm looking for forward to this :)
"What kind of boy does ballet" SPidErMan that's who
The way things are gendered is such b.s. Once upon a time, men wore heels and it was a sign of class & privilege . People will bash men dancing and yet it, especially ballet, helps with coordination and conditioning. People will mock a boy having an interest in cooking or housekeeping as if men a- don't live/can't live alone b- male chefs aren't a thing c- there's not a benefit to knowing how to cook food. Same goes for if a girl is interested in tools or sports. Like it's odd meanwhile being able to follow sports can help break the ice in social situations and being able to fix things is an obvious life benefit. Not to mention the "pink tax" which has items used by women more expensive such as razors (even though society also tells women they should shave in order to look good and feminine)
Rob: Why is everything pink? Gabriel: Cause... It's nice. Rob: What's so nice about it? Gabriel: It's so pretty and nice. It's sweet and just like a dream. Rob: **smiles** 😭 The way my heart melted when this scene came on.
I'm melting by his cuteness. 😭❤️
I've just watched the short film and it's so good, soo sweet! Disney, please, finance more amazing projects like this one! We really need to talk about gender, sexuality, prejudice and other delicate themes!
This reminds me of the Webcomic “Salad Days” 🤌🏻 beautiful

Gabriel is so precious. I want to protect him from this cruel world
This touched me so much I cried. I've been that kid that did not confirm to gender roles and was shunned by others. Seeing Gabriel sit alone at ballet class, that was me when i was a kid. I'm so glad Rob was there to see him at the end. Fuck the haters.
"What kind of boy does ballet?" Excuse me sir ballet is harder to learn than most of the sports of this world
This is melting my heart...
well, a close friend of mine and i did ballet, nobody partnered up with him, neither did anybody with me, we went to the same class in school, so we were almost always anywhere together, he's now a freestyle ballet dancer and everybody at our former school and the highschool next to it, knows about him, because he's in big performances in town
aww this looks so cute
This really an eye opener to the parents and to the children. This just show that there is no gender in color and in choosing a hobby. Everyone can be anything. I also love that he put it in Disney where children are the main audience.
Honestly, bless this movie, it’s so freeing to have a form of media that finally clears up the misconception that a man being emotional and feminine and being gay are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. There’a 100% nothing wrong with either of the 2 mentioned but still there is a difference and people should know that.
This is the most adorable short film I've ever watched.
I'm really excited for this! I'm so tired of old fashioned gender stereotypes. What does it mean to be "feminine" or "masculine" anyway? Why label it? Let boys and girls like what they like and do what they want. And people need to stop assuming that boys who like pink and ballet and anything stereotypically "feminine" are gay. Of course, there's nothing wrong if they are gay either. But we need to stop stereotyping and putting people in boxes. It's completely pointless and makes people feel like they can't be themselves.
Love this! Who says boys can’t like pink or do ballet? Doing what you love despite being bullied for it is what true courage looks like. Anyone can fit the mould, but it takes bravery to stand out.
this is everything 🥺
My sisters husband did ballet, played with dolls growing up and worked in a pantomime theatre. He's the straightest man I know. Liking non-masculine things is perfectly ok for boys.
