Editing Shadows Hills Polly Diary (section)

==May 17th, 2009==  

So the school decided that I needed to be put in touch with lots of organizations, and things.  I don't mind, but there turned out to be problems.

For one thing, the people I got stuck talking to were all talking about how they had to hide how they didn't like being with guys.  It's not like that for me!!!  The important thing is the ''person,'' '''not''' whether they're a boy or a girl or whatever.  Why is that so hard to understand?

But you say "Bisexual," and the straight guys and girls think that you mean "Easy Slut," and the gay girls think that you mean "Traitor," I swear!  I mean, there are people out there who tell me that I don't exist!  (I don't even want to talk about all the guys who think that that means that I'll want to have a threesome with them and their girlfriends.)

'''Plus''' the ones who think that I either have to have a new, butch makeover, or that I can't like girly girls, because I am one.  Honestly, what are they thinking?  Pretty, girly girls are just fine in my book.  Or strong, butch ones, or whatever.  Same for guys.  It's the person inside that matters.  Is that so hard to understand?
