Reading both articles helped me realize how little I know about gender identity. For example, Myers talks about the difference between gender assignment, gender identity, and gender expression Myers goes more and death in these topics and also stresses how anyone can I identify as what they want and how they express themselves could be different from when they were younger. I learned from this article that gender identity doesn’t always follow one sexual orientation, and you could be any identity and have any sexual orientation. These two topics are free-flowing. One thing that I didn’t know before reading this article was what gender expression was, and after reading this article, I have a better understanding of all these terms. 

In the article written by Bell hooks, he gave me insight into the word feminist based on experiences. The way I Define the term feminist is a woman who wants to be equal but also has hatred towards men. Still, after reading this article, that is different. Bell hooks stated that feminism is a community of people trying to end the objectification of women and the oppression that women face in daily life. One big reason she said this was that she wanted equality between all genders.
