- High School, 2018
- Hi Michelle!
- Hi James, Hi Max!
- James, the fact that you are a transgender man and your girlfriend is a cisgender woman doesn't make her bisexual, does it?
- No, Michelle, gender and sexuality are completely different things that do not influence each other in any way. Right, Max?
- Yeah, Michelle, James is right. Gender and sexuality are completely different. In no way does James' gender influence his partners sexuality.
- That makes sense. Thanks for explaining that to me!
- First Year of University, 2019
- Do you think that maybe we're wrong to assume that sexuality and gender aren't related?
- No, I still think we're right. Neither of us have even heard of anyone whose gender is influenced by their sexuality.
- But what if there was someone out there for whom that was the case and we just haven't heard about them?
- We probably would have heard about them.
- It's definitely something to think about. I think maybe we're wrong.
- Second Year of University, October 2020
- Time to do my anthropology reading for this week!
- The Gender of Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes by Don Kulick"...[S]exuality and gender configure with one another throughout Latin America.""...[F]or the travestis with whom I work in Salvador, gender identity is thought to be determined by one's sexual behaviour."
- WOW! My culture's beliefs about gender and sexuality are not the case everywhere. I can't believe I was wrong!
- The Gender of Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes
- I was wrong to have accepted my prior knowledge about the relationship between gender and sexuality as the truth without considering the experiences of other cultures!
- The Gender of Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes
- Second Year of University, November 2020
- James you were right! Some people whose gender is influenced by their sexuality! I learned about them in class!
- Now we know not to take our culture's norms as the absolute truth. The realities of other cultures are just as important as ours!
