Welcome to Ditch the Label
New website launching Spring 2012.
There are people in the world, so why do we need to cut this down to 20 labels of people? You are your own person. Welcome to Ditch the Label.
We are a not-for-profit organisation promoting messages of equality and anti-discrimination and helping those that are left feeling vulnerable as a direct impact from bullying, discrimination or other hate crime stemming from homophia, racism, sexism and other unfounded levels of hate.
With our online community, DitchWorld boasting over 31,000 members, a dedicated team of counsellors and a social media presence to be envious of - we are difficult to ignore. We unite as one and are here to fight against the inequality that continues to destroy lives.
Unsure as to whether or not you have been affected by negative stereotypes? Consider the following - how true are they?
- I'm Vegetarian so I MUST be a political activist.
- I'm a Lesbian so I MUST have a shaved head and be masculine.
- I'm British so I MUST have bad teeth.
- I'm American so I MUST be obese.
- I'm Blonde so I MUST have a low IQ.
- I'm Overweight so I MUST be lazy.
- I'm Gay so I MUST have HIV and like Lady GaGa.
- I'm Black so I MUST have come from a different country, illegally.
- I'm Scottish so I MUST have ginger hair.
- I'm Unemployed so I MUST be lazy and uneducated.
- I'm Autistic so I MUST be ridiculously intelligent with numbers.
- I'm Young so I MUST be naive and troublesome.
- I'm Male so I MUST be interested in sports and games.
- I'm Bisexual so I MUST fancy you and be in denial about my true sexuality.
- I'm Female so I MUST be overly sensitive and catty.
Okay, sometimes they may be correct but most of the time they couldn't be further from the truth. It's about time we stopped judging people for their background and started to see them for who they really are. Join us.
