Anonymous Questions from Gender and Sexuality Workshop

Hey guys!

Here are the questions that you submitted to us last week:

• What influences a person to change their gender?

• Is being gay really a choice?

• Do you think there should be public bathrooms for different genders like zi’s or zir’s?

• As a child, I never understood same sex relationships because I used to watch “Nature.” Animals were never in same sex. Does anyone else feel this way?

• Do you think there should be public bathrooms for different genders like zi’s or zir’s?

• Do you believe that people can be turned straight or gays? Like can a gay person be turned straight?

• How do women view sex (the physical activity)?

• How come there are so many questions about gender and sexuality? Why not leave it be?

• In a structured society, is it possible to eliminate all sexual stereotypes?

WELCOME TO SLI09 BLOG!

Hi guys!

Since we love you all so much, and we cannot wait until JUST Saturdays to hear from you, we have extended communication to the internet!

If you guys remember from last week's session, the facilitators collected anonymous questions from all of you at the end of the day so that we could answer them for you. However, after going through all the questions, a lot of them were more discussion-based and open-ended, and we can't answer you with straight facts and research.

So then a brilliant idea struck us, and THIS BLOG WAS BORN! We will be posting up the questions that you have submitted to us, and you guys can treat this blog like a forum where you can post your own ideas and opinions in response to each other. If you guys want, we can also post materials from previous weeks so that you can review them and add any other additional comments. Also, since you guys will be authors as well, please feel free to post about relevant (even if very loosely) things or events that you want to share with us, things like Asian-American issues, current events, media representation, stereotypes.

This is the first time we've had a blog, so your contributions will be making or breaking this blog! But I'm pretty sure you are all teeming with ideas and opinions anyway, so ... SPILL THE BEANS!
