For example, If I am more attached to men and wanted to be the more feminine role in the relationship, am I consider a female? Or If I were a woman, and I only attach to female( but the person is a transgender man), am I a lesbian or straight? There was a couple in our class who is in this kind of relationship and they label themselves as lesbians, but she has a penis!? and Sexuality is related to SEX instead of gender-based. Sex is biological and a woman who is attached to a man (even she expresses herself as a female individual) , doesn't this make her straight? Or Sexuality could also be gendered in some situations?
We also talked a little bit about Drag Queen issues and how we all express ourselves in ways that related to how we identify ourselves, as well as the Two-Sprilt Native American group people. In my opinion, words like 'Male' and 'Female' are culturally constructed, and in some places like Hongkong, 'middle-sex' is commonly known. These words are NOT real. They are just an image on our mind. If we start to make some changes like educating our new generation that genders could be male, female, n/a, mostly female but sometimes male ... ... Shouldn't we have a better world where everyone understand that no matter what, we are all human beings?! The key is really about our public policies and social institutions haven't given us a clear idea about what gender and sexuality are all about.
Places like Ghana, Male same-sex sexual acts are illegal in Ghana, though female same-sex sexual activity is legal. It is NOT fair and this is still happening is because the policy makers do not understand that, after all, we are all human beings, not matter how we look like, how different is our skin color, or how we express ourselves.
