What is gender?...

We are wrapping up our unit on class with our exam on Tuesday.  And we will be starting a new unit on gender next week.  So to start thinking about the issues that will be addressed in that unit I want you to reflect on the following.  Answer these questions on your blog...

What is gender?

What is sex?

Are they the same or different?

What is gender identity?

What is sexual orientation?

Give me examples of these ideas.  What has been your own life experience with issues of gender?
