Antione Malave Reading reflection 2.
As entertained i was at Alok’s inquisitive look at Gender roles. He was so charismatic when discussing the ways we should all be talking because it would respectful . Or how we could all be something much more then a gender . As i stated in the last reflection i don’t see the importance of knowing of knowing what you identify yourself with before i even know your name . That is something private that i really could care less about . I care about your character not which cartoon pajamas you sleep in. I honestly don’t and the fact that i don’t care somehow allows me to be pigeon holed into a space where me saying i don’t care equates to trans, binary gender hate, misogyny, anti feminism or anti reoperations or whatever buzz word you could apply. I also love how essentially Alok is saying it should be like this and no other way else. That basically leaves little if no room for debate or discussion which can potentially be problematic. Even thou i didn’t agree with what was said. I do enjoy how passionate ALok was speaking about a subject that allot of people wont even touch so openly and freely without restraint. I feel that for there to be changes and things made clear there needs to be open dialogue without finger pointing or sneering at another persons opinions that are not your own
