As a female athlete you are always aware that there is a stigma that comes with being on a sport team. There is a question you expect and a lifestyle of some of your team mates to discuss...why is this?? Just because women are athletic does it mean they are lesbians? What is funny is that before I came to college I thought the same thing, also about female PE teachers. weird.

I know exactly what you mean. The same stigmata comes along with male music teachers. Many times in the music profession you will run across many male homosexuals, therefore you are automatically stereotyped. The most important aspect of such accusations is that you either become a statistic or history maker. I've noticed that female athletes receive a lot of flack about sexual preference and the energy that circulates around speculation. Its just so sad how ignorant some people are.
