What is it to be a female????? can anyone really, truly answer that question???? Yes we know biologically what gender is XX or XY BUT how has gender become what it is today???? just a few thoughts before i get into the readings ....
When i saw this article i thought it sounded pretty funny > "Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters" .... i didn't really know what to expect!Its all about self image and how girls/women want to be perceived. Weight and body image is a big must in the women gender .... we are usually not skinny enough or butt never firm enough! I was one of those girls and guess what .... i still am! i cant help but constantly watch what i look like. As i read this article it sounded like it was coming from me ... its pretty scary yet sad ... I guess its the average girls thoughts ... i very much doubt guys think this way!!!
"Now that You're a While Man": Changing Sex in a Postmodern World- Being, Becoming, and Borders by Valerio was interesting to read. He talks about his own gender identity and his personal experience of being born a female who felt as if she should have been a male. Something interesting he said was that it had nothing to do with being a lesbian, she just always felt like she should have been male. So this implies that sexuality and gender do not coincide which many people get confused.
