So I'm not quite sure what this has to do with French class

Have you ever been in an environment where you were a linguistic or cultural minority?

Yes.

What about personal identity?

Are you asking if my personal identity is in the minority? If so, then yes. But only because there is 1 me and 7 billion other people. All with individual personal identities. So while there is no one personal identity that is more common than my own, my personal identity is in the minority because of the sheer volume of other personal identities in the world.

If you are asking if there are aspects of my personal identity that are in the minority, then yes.

What do you think it feels like to be in a place that is culturally different from what you know?

Amazing. Exciting. Sometimes a little scary, but for the most part its actually really fun.

What does it feel like to struggle between identities?

Its interesting.

I've been asexual my whole life. At first, it was no problem. As kids, no one is sexual so it was easy getting along, and I as far as I knew i was normal. Then my friends and peers started to develop crushes. And I got confused. Then a couple of my friends started to get into "relationships" (in quotes because we were what, 14, at the time and I have no idea what they did) and I got more confused. Media like movies/tv shows/books always showed guys as wanting sex, but I didn't understand that. I couldn't related.

But at the same time, it was a small thing in my everyday life. I was going to school and learning things, that was exciting. I was hanging out with friends, we had plenty of good times.

My asexuality, and the confusion I felt between what I was being told I should experience and what I was actually experiencing, was only a small part of my life. I didn't stop living my life because of it. It didn't define me. If you ask most of my friends, they probably don't even know that I'm asexual, much less that I was struggling.

Can you use examples from your personal life, popular culture, or school?

Use examples for what? To show my struggle? I just told you about it.

In light of your own experiences, what can you do to to promote not tolerance or acceptance, but advocacy?

As someone who is in multiple minorities, I don't think we need anything more than acceptance.

No idea how this relates to French though lol
