Sex and Gender 101 was an eye opening article that i thoroughly enjoyed. This article reinforces my belief that humans are multifaceted beings. That we do not follow a liner path and that our identity goes beyond skin deep. The fluidity of sex and gender is such a refreshing concept in which we should all aspire to master and understand so we can have a better relationship with one another.
When it came to explaining the process in which Males with XY chromosomes and Females with XX chromosomes and the changes that puberty brings within the two, I was left wondering why the author didn’t talk about the menstrual cycle that a person with XX chromosomes would experience during puberty. I believe that is as important as the many of the other changes mention in the reading. The menstrual cycle not only falls under the reproductive system for someone with the XX chromosomes but it also falls under the hormonal processes that people experience.
The other reading was as important as the previous one. The politicization of what it means or what it is to be a Feminist is a topic that many like to discuss but don’t fully understand. In my opinion it all ball down to not politicizing women’s rights to choose, regardless the venue. The end to gender discrimination and oppression in all aspects of our everyday life.
