I'm a redhead and pale as can be and for various reasons a bit "off".

I'm also "off" in a way that many seem to think is very sexual, which is very disturbing to me. The fact that I am a redhead does not help matters.

So I'M comfortable with myself, but people constantly assume that I am not or/and that I should not be.

On the flip-side, I'm white, short look as girly as can be and have during my time in school so far gotten away with things i shouldn't have gotten away with. Because people kind of assume I'm weaker than I am and could not have possibly done this or that.
