Being “Pigeon-Holed
Being pigeon-holed means being unfairly categorized or stereotyped in a narrow, limiting way that overlooks an individual's full complexity.
Definition and Origin
The term "pigeon-hole" originally referred to small compartments used for pigeons to nest or for storing letters in a desk. Figuratively, to be pigeon-holed means to be placed into a restrictive category, often ignoring nuances or broader qualities. As a verb, it can also describe setting something aside mentally or physically for future consideration, but in modern usage, it usually implies unfair limitation.
