This week we did...

  For this week there was a lot we talked about in class. But specifically there was the topic about transgender and it really had me asking questions. First of all what really defines a woman? People say its periods and having babies but there are women that can do neither. So who really is a woman? But then i try to go back to biological terms and just think that a woman who has 2 X chromosomes is a woman. Simple as that. 

    But there’s inter sex people and that complicate the situation even further.  I feel bad for transgender women because they honestly feel like women and some women aren’t accepting of them. For me personally I am very accepting and think that this is a free country to speak what you feel and be what you want. I don’t believe that this should be one of the limitations. But then again other do and then it just makes it a really big consequence.

   I also really liked that we were able to have a discussion bout this in class. It was nice too hear people’s opinion on this subject and try to understand over even side with their views. I really enjoy group discussions like this for this reason. It really allows for all of us to come together and become more understanding which I believe is very needed to become a better world and tackle topic like the one of transgender.

      Also, I want touch a bit on last weeks topic and how weird it really felt to learn about dialects and how writing in them might look like. While I read that mockery of Zorn’s paper I realized how hard it would really be to have people write in different dialects. In a way I feel like English does us some good but then I don’t approve how “writing right is writing white.” That’s just messed up. So again this topic is very controversial and makes it hard to decide what side to pick.

       Over all I think this week went really well and it allowed us to review view where individuals stand in in this topic. And I hope we talk more in a large group instead of individually. Also, after looking at different dialects I feel like they are important but it would be very hard to teach dialects in English because well not everyone is a master in all dialects.
