Gender and Sexuality

I really enjoyed the presentation on different versions of gender today. Although we had been talking about the differences between sexuality and gender i liked how the presentation focused on the ambiguities that we had not touched upon in our previous discussion. Having gay parents makes sexuality an open topic in my family. When my mom first told me she was gay it was literally mind blowing for a kid of nine. But after living with the reality of having a gay parent it really helped me understand and learn to embrace differences of people around the world. Even with my experience with people of different sexual orientation I did not know that much about transgendered people. I was very interested to hear from both Toria and Andi about what it is like living with and as a transgendered person.
