Mccloskey Research Paper

McCloskey to me when she stated that, “My gender crossing was motivated by identity, not to be a balance of utility.” McCloskey gave herself the freedom to be who she was, she did not broadcast her crossing, McCloskey just did it, and she was accepted.
As McCloskey stated about, “Gender is not in every way natural”? this statement to me is not a contradiction of her identity, her decision was more as a free to be me, than an identity. Now if McCloskey stated that she felt that her feminine way was the decision in her identity then yes, I would say then she was contradicting herself.
McCloskey’s Christianity seems also a part of the freedom that she was wanting, that for as much as her living as a male she wanted to be forgiven for whom she

    “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time,” is an old saying that means, don’t do the violation if you are not willing to take punishment for it. For some offenders, their punishment or “time,” is a lot less severe than the crime they committed. For three recent offenders in the Syracuse area, that is exactly what they received for their offense, significantly less severe sentence than they deserve. One offender who experienced this was former High School teacher,Thomas McCarthy. McCarthy should be considered lucky with the small sentence he received for his action two years ago.…

    As I continue to read Ruth Hall, I find more and more similarities between the “Christian” values held by Ruth’s in-laws and Mrs. Flint in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. In Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Harriet Jacobs frequently cites Mrs. Flint’s “usual manifestations of Christian feeling” throughout her novel (113). The most startling instance of Mrs. Flint’s blatant disregard for the ideals preached by Christianity is in Chapter 23 when, after the death of her housemaid Nancy, Mrs. Flint believes having her buried at the foot of her own future resting place would be an utmost honor for Nancy. Comparatively, Ruth’s in-laws also express a similar warped sense of Christianity and in Chapter 23 of Ruth Hall, her father-in-law…

    According to the New York Times (2004) “On September 9, 1993, Christopher Simmons, 17, and Charles Benjamin, 15, broke into a trailer south of Fenton, Mo., just outside St. Louis. They woke Shirley Ann Crook, a 46-year-old truck driver who was inside, and proceeded to tie her up and cover her eyes and mouth with silver duct tape.

Simmons and Benjamin later confessed to the abduction and murder, which had netted them $6.” Simmons was tried, found guilty, and received the death penalty.…

    To drive home this thesis Skidmore uses the stories of four women who differ from Christine whether it be from class, race, heteronormativity, or all three in juxtaposition to the Jorgensen story of the “good transexual.” The story of Charlotte McLeod highlights the importance of class as well as respectable feminine behavior, both of which were exuded by Jorgensen, in the social perception of transgenders. SImilar to Jorgenson McLeod was white and a former G.I., but he had found it to be difficult so he left which had created this negative narrative living up to Christine’s standards. Her behavior was for the most part deemed unladylike due to the fact that she had gotten into some altercations with reporters. (Skidmore p.279) Charlotte was displaying manly behavior according to the press which did not fit into the mold of the middle class American female during the post war era.…
