We are born biologically male or female; that 's what our chromosomes say. Whether they are XX or XY we are born that way. However, biological sex and gender are different. Gender identity is something that a person feels and expresses. Gender identity is a representation of a gender trope that a person wants to see in the…

categories of gender, it has affected language. Society is becoming more accepting of people who fall into these various gender categories, and because of it there has been less discrimination towards them. And as a way that cisgender people are trying to stop discrimination is by changing the way they speak and write to them. Cisgender people have started to alter pronouns when addressing people who are transgender, who are transitioning, or who don’t identify as a specific gender. They have…

I chose the topic of Gender: Binary and Nonbinary because I’m a transgender male student repeatedly coming out to whoever I meet on a nearly daily basis.Through research I learned that in past cultures such as Ancient Egyptians, some eastern cultures, and Native Americans do not just have the binary genders but also other non conformative gender roles that may be foreign to western cultures.

With her unique word choice, her work is both confusing and addicting. It causes the reader to come back for more and to yearn to understand her thinking. Though her words spin in circles, the reader becomes enveloped in the dance. Her gender neutral sense makes the reader feel that the tone…

From the moment we are born we are placed into the binary division of male or female, the defining feature of our subjectivity. This distinction organises and informs our entire lives – from the bathrooms we use to the sports we’re expected to play.
