Well, this is the first in a series of videocasts that I’ll be doing. The first one is on gender. I briefly discuss what gender is and what transgender means. I’m sure I’ll get into more detail about these topics later on in the series, but for now I thought I would take small steps. If you have any questions or comments don’t be afraid! I don’t bite.
NOTES
Definitions
- Transgender – “People who were assigned a gender, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves.” “Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the gender one was assigned at birth.” Wikipedia
- Transsexual – “Transsexual people are often people who desire to have, or have achieved, a different physical sex from their original physical sex. One typical (though oversimplified) explanation is of a “woman trapped in a man’s body” or vice versa. Many transsexual women state that they were in fact always female gender, despite physically being male; transmen feel exactly the opposite.” Wikipedia
- Genderqueer – “It suggests nonconformity or mixing of gendered stereotypes, conjoining both gender and gayness, ‘pluralistic challenges to the male/female, woman/man, gay/straight, butch/femme constructions and identities.’” Wikipedia

It was educational, not sure about interesting or entertaining though.
Haha. Maybe next time I’ll pull out my mullet wig.
Very nice presentation Josh. Yes, it was informative and I found it interesting. I did get some entertainment when you decribed how big your penis could be depending on your arm tissue availability and how big you wanna go with it!!! And you got kinda embarrassed immediately afterwards in a cute way. You made me laugh but I totally got what you were saying. Keep on videoblogging your take on Transgenderism. We need more teachers like you! Luvs, Deja
Thank you Deja. That means a lot to me. I haven’t decided what the next videocast will be, but I’m sure I’ll put it up soon! Thank you for stopping by and letting me know what you think.
