Not everyone judges people based on their appearance. Some do, but that's life. My friends are friends based on what is inside, not based on their gender, size, height, hairstyle, or whatever. I have friends who appear to be intimidating but are actually quite calm and rational...and a female friend who will take on anyone who crosses her. You can't change people who stereotype others. It happens. I've tried to challenge the opinions of people who stereotype me for some reason or another, and it never changes anything. It's hard to ignore, but you can try.
