The Pros And Cons Of Being Agender

143 Words1 Page

Being Agender is pretty difficult considering cis people always assume you are a binary gender and doubt you, for me I have a hard time with clothing because of my curvy body type hips and butt to be exact. This makes it difficult to wear clothes we consider masculine. It 's pretty easy for me to find shirts that don 't make my chest stick out and there are ways to flatten my chest, but when it comes to bottoms there aren 't any options (from the research I 've done). I get really annoyed how I 'm preserved as a women/ girl, before puberty it was much easier to wear whatever. Every popular image you see of non binary is usually white, dfab, and skinny which affects non binary trans people giving us an image which unfortunately not a of a

    My gender is something I have always been so nervous about when it comes to my future. I have grown in an era where women have it better than they did in the 1800’s, but I still feel quite marginalized and degraded sometimes. This was especially present in high school when everyone around my age was still figuring out who they really were. I always heard sexist comments and men talking about women in such disgusting ways as if they were their property. I have also grown up hearing about gender roles and norms.

  • Pros And Cons Of Trying Youth As Adults

    1487 Words  | 6 Pages

    The idea of trying youth as adults has proven to be a controversial issue over time. To this day, there is still debate as to whether or not it is the right decision to try our youth as adults. Surrounding the practice of trying youth as adults, two significant perspectives emerge: the recognition of developmental factors and the consideration of racial disparities. As we examine the school-to-prison pipeline and developmental considerations, which I personally find significant, it will be necessary to explore factors such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the bioecological systems. Both factors play major roles in shaping a young individual’s development in both emotional and cognitive domains.

In sociology, this is known as gender role socialization, which is the process of socializing boys and girls to conform to their assigned genders’ attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, values, and norms.

  • Tomboyism And The Representations Of Gender Identity

    710 Words  | 3 Pages

    If women and men are to be respected equally then maybe the representations of gender are to reflect reality but for this to happen we must look at when and where such biases and prejudices usually form. However, boys are raised to conform to masculine roles and sometimes little girls adapt to these kind of roles and is accepted for them to adapt but inevitably it is stopped when they hit puberty.

  • Shintoism: Homosexuals In Ancient And Modern Japan

    1389 Words  | 6 Pages

    The term, “transsexual” has always been one of obscurity, muddled by countless contradicting opinions and perspectives that generally have nothing to do with the definition of the word itself. Oxford English Dictionary defines transsexuals as, “[those] whose sex has been changed by surgery.” Though Oxford English Dictionary has a very blunt, straightforward definition of what marks you as a transsexual, it almost makes light of the meaning of the word – that it is simply a matter of sex change and nothing else. These kinds of proclamations would be negatively viewed by some in the LGBT community, especially in more stifling communities such as Japan, that suppress individuality considered abnormal and out of place with the social construct of its society. Moreover, Japan’s innate compliance of cultural uniformity, with roles that are deemed appropriate or inappropriate within its culture, depict transsexuals as obtrusive, defying natural laws in order to engrave their own sense of identity in a world that considers them to be unwelcomed and not belonging.
