  1. Explain the significance of the quotation “It’s challenging the most basic thing we’ve been led to believe” in relation to this video. What does this quotation tell us about the challenges faced by those in the transgender community?










3.       What comparison do they make between having to identify one’s race on paperwork in the past, with having to identify one’s gender?





Write a one page personal reflection, considering the following guiding questions:
  • What are your observations about gender norms in your community? (define community in whatever way you wish: town, family, school, province, country, religion, ethnic group).
  • Where do you see acceptance and celebrations of diversity in your community?
  • Where do you see evidence of discrimination and heterosexism?
  • How would you react if a close friend or family member came out? Consider how you would react in a private conversation, and how you would react when the person came out openly. Justify your response by reflecting on your values and how they would help you in this situation.
  • Use this paper as a rough copy for your response.
