Upon reading both articles I’ve learnt a lot of interesting information that I now can partake in conversations of such. In sex & gender 101 began to understand that gender and gender identity is never a set in stone. i also touched bases with different pronouns that’s used or made for a specific individual. Gender or gender orientation define how how you feel an how you identify or refer yourself not how you are seen. And there’s plenty of pronouns that can be used to address such person(she, he are use as neutral pronouns such as “Z” or “they, they, and them)Another topic that was touched which I was really impressed about is that the spoke on race ,sex, sexual orientation etc.
In both readings about the topics sex, an gender/ gender orientation has something in common and that is not being treated equally,for example a guy is labeled as a male because of his outter appearance which are male genitals etc but for that individual might not consider themselves as male. They might consider themselves has females an would like to play that part or even define themselves as. Who am I to Judge anyone ? I would rather an also envoy other to understand an get the knowledge instead of bashing an not knowing. These topics need more light than we might think and with these articles/ readings are the first step of putting this knowledge out in the world.
