If your motivation and drive is to grow, you have to get thick skin. Every day, I hear how my muscles are not feminine and I look more like a man. Over the holiday weekend, multiple times, snide ass remarks were thrown my way. I’m not a woman, am I a lesbian, do I realize how manly my muscles make me look. You get the idea. 
It’s hard in this realm, as a woman. It’s a difficult balance to maintain. I will ALWAYS have this struggle as long as I continue to lift. And I wouldn’t change any part of me. 

I’m not your stereotypical girlie girl, with all the muscle, I strive hard to maintain femininity in all other aspects, so sometimes yes I’m human and these comments (mostly by men insecure in their own masculinity) do strike me as hurtful. I am a strong woman, mentally, physically, spiritually. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting when someone insults you.
