This week’s readings were very interesting, I always enjoy reading about sex, gender, and feminism. Sex & Gender 101 explained the difference between sex, gender, and sexuality. Biological sex refers to the physiological characteristics that define if our sex is male, female, or intersex. This can be defined by sex organs, external genitalia, sex chromosomes, and sex hormones. Gender is a social construct that assigns certain roles and behaviors to each one of the sexes. Gender assignment is the gender assigned at birth based on the genitals, gender identity is the one which the person feels more comfortable with, and gender expression it’s how you choose to express your gender identity. Sexual orientation is who you feel attracted to. I feel like the spectrum of gender is very broad and even though one identifies as cisgender, it is impossible to fit in a box. For example, I identify as a cisgender female, but the idea of being a mom isn’t something that excites me. I am a messy person since I was a kid and I am not necessarily high maintenance when it comes to my appearance, but I do like the color pink, I do like to cook sometimes, and I tend to be kind and respectful. Am I really a gender-nonconforming person? I don’t know, but for now, I feel comfortable saying I am a cisgender woman. I’m also interested in exploring the “gender abolitionism” concept since it proposes a model where our biological sex doesn’t dictate how are we supposed to behave or who are we supposed to be. The chapter of the book talks about what is feminism and its evolution throughout the years. I think that everything the author says is very accurate. Feminism was supposed to be a movement to end sexism, attack the patriarchy from its roots. Nowadays it seems that everyone adapts feminism to their lives in a way that is convenient to them. Even though the Western culture has progressed a lot, we still live in a patriarchal society where women are being oppressed
