Valentine's Day without stereotypes: here are the proposals for genderless gifts
The most cynical argue that Valentine's Day is only a commercial gimmick, for us, however, it is a wonderful opportunity, among many, to thank the people we love with a gesture. Thank them for their love, support and for choosing to share their life with us.
It does not matter the gender identity in which you recognize your partner, or who are the people you love (special friendships, parental ties or simply yourself), this year, for Valentine's Day, choose to donate something without being influenced by them. stereotypes.
Heteronormativity and love: where stereotypes come from
In the social context in which we live, heteronormativity has fueled all the stereotypes that, more or less voluntarily, usually influence our choices, not only affective, but also related to every small daily gesture. Such as, for example, the purchase of a gift.
By heteronormativity we mean the imposition of heterosexuality as a norm, as the only culturally and socially acceptable sexual orientation, as opposed to the others that are considered deviant.
The affective couple man-woman is not, therefore, the only possible form of love. Love, on the other hand, has many shades and is a unique feeling that involves people regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. (Read also Cara's pansexuality: "I fall in love with the person, not the gender")
Just as society can't decide who it's right to love, it can't even dictate that we necessarily have to be interested in being hit by Cupid's arrow.
Let's forget the soul mate and the other half of the apple. It is not mandatory to have a desire for a romantic or sentimental bond. Love for oneself is also an equally profound feeling. Having learned to appreciate one's company, to accept one's body and one's way of being is the achievement of such a special goal that it deserves, equally, to be celebrated.
The idea of exclusively donating traditional flowers and chocolates or making classic couple gifts is now obsolete. Let's discover together new proposals suitable for any gender identity and personality. Because buying a gift, if done with affection, is not an act of consumerism but a way to scream a giant "I love you".
So here is our list of 10 gift proposals, far from the usual stereotypes.
