Diversity In Intersex

Decent Essays
I just fins it really interesting that variety is all the rage now in our culture when it comes to things like body size, clothing, freedom of religion or sexuality, but when it comes to gender it is an issue. Everyting else we as humans experince is on a spectrum, but when it comes to gender you can only fit into onebox or another. Some people may argue that it is because God only made a man and a woman an dno inbetween, but if that is your arguement, when an intersex person is born, are you saying that its God's mistake then- that is, if God is responsible for all of creation. The fact that there are poeple out there who believe that an intersex person cannot live functionally in our world puzzles me; so do these same people also believe that there can be no medium height people eotehr?

These people who went thorugh all of these unwanted treatments and young men or woman also have health issues that afect them later in life. Another example of this was the womans who spoke of her husband who died from vaginal cancer. I would really love to know did this cancer arrise from some treatments that he had during his tranformation from woman to to man, or possible from some surgery gone wrong? It was also started that his cancer treatent was a littw shaky because it was unheard of to treat vanginal caver for a man; therefore, it is also possible that not everything was done to save this mans life. It just seemed to me, and it was made apparent to me that an overwhleming amount of epopel ut are not edcuated enough about people with intersex conditons. I never gained a full understanding about it until I was in college, and that is entirely too late, because Im sure by now in my 21 years of life, iy is very well possible that I have had a run in with someone who si intersex or someone who is

    The political party name is “Tired of the Bull.” This name is chosen because this seems to be the feeling of the American voters and the American people mostly myself. Candidate’s have made promises to the people and not kept them. While the government fights amongst themselves, they continue to hold up progress. An example of this would be the healthcare debate, everyone needs healthcare, without it health care cost would continue to be out of control and people would not get treated because of the lack of health care insurance.…

    Lately in the news there has been some controversy in the news about transgenders using the bathrooms they claim they have to use. Recently Donald Trump has made a statement about transgenders saying he has no problem with transgender people using whatever bathroom they chose. In my opinion I think that transgenders should use the sex of gender they were born with until there transformation is complete. I think they should make a separate bathroom for transgenders or since they are in the process (unisex) . I mean if it was just one single bathroom with one toilet and it was meant to be used for both sexs then I don’t think that we should worry about anything because nobody else would be in there with you.…

    William Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night and the film Shakespeare in Love deal with the complexities of gender and sexuality. Even though the play Twelfth Night was published nearly four hundred years before Shakespeare in Love was released, Shakespeare’s play represents a more modern outlook on gender. Both materials involve cross-dressing, but cross-dressing is more of a feature in Shakespeare in Love, while Twelfth Night actually delves into the complexities of what it means to be either male or female. My belief is that one’s gender does not necessarily coincide with one’s biological sex. While transgendered people are still struggling to be accepted in today’s world, they have been experiencing much more acceptance than they have in the…
