The Sing and Dance Scenario contains at least two examples of conflicts of interest and several instances of illegal sexual harassment. The first conflict of interest is how Jackie and her manager at Sing and Dance Records were romantically involved prior to and after signing a contract with the record company. Even if Jackie was not using Curtis to make personal gains, it would appear that way to the company. Jackie should have disclosed her relationship to the company in the beginning as many companies require for this reason. The sexual advances made by Curtis toward Jackie after their relationship had ended are examples of illegal sexual harassment.…

Jorgensen states in her autobiography that, “my idealized existence was based on my skewed perception of a woman’s status in America. I trusted that as a female I would be instantly credible, acceptable, and understood…doors would be opened for me, and society would rush forward to reward my femininity with an honored position in the heterosexual society” ( Jorgensen 236).

However, the hormone injections and surgery transformed her into not only a woman but also a heterosexual. Jorgensen reinforces the belief that femininity is expressed “naturally” by embodying a normative feminine identity.…
