Kat is a very strong, independant and opinionated person who never lets her opinions go to waste, whether they are aimed at her teachers or her fellow peers. She is against dating and often "sneers at the idiocy of teenage social life". She is cynical about many things, and does not believe that she needs to be like most teenagers that she is surrounded by. She says, “You forget I don’t care what other people think”, which directly shows us that she doesn't care for others opinions on her. She strongly dislikes her sister’s eagerness to fit in at school and tells Bianca, “You don’t always have to be what other people want you to be”, which shows us that she thinks Bianca should be herself and not follow in the path that her fellow school mates take.
Throughout the movie XXY, I learned that Alex’s condition was not accepted by her peers, as well as by her family. In the short documentary we watched in class, the individual was very open with her sexuality, and was very accepted by her peers. In the movie, Alex’s parents questioned whether or not sexual reassignment surgery would be the best option, and whether it would give Alex a more socially normal life.

Eventually Rita manages to develop, she actually, through her many lessons with Frank manages to get a grip of who she is, breaks

What she does not count on is that she begins to actually be attracted to Matt, and for a girl who is been operating independently of what other people want and think, it is sort of a hard thing to deal

Marguerite is motivated by her books and the important people in her life, such as Bailey, her grandmother, Miss Flowers, her mother, and her school teacher in San Francisco. Academics and dancing were Marguerite’s strong talents even though she was a bit of a klutz and being graceful didn’t come naturally to her.
