That is all. I want to be respected for who I am. I want to be seen as the person I am and not as the female instructor.
I thought becoming a tandem instructor was going to be hard. Physically hard. To prepare myself, I went to the gym. I build up muscles that broadened my back to a size it doesn’t look ‘feminine’ anymore when I wear a dress.
But I never knew the actual challenge wasn’t going to be a physical one. I didn’t know how strong I had to be mentally to withstand the daily fight of having to prove myself.
