Sex and Gender Based Systems
Lucas McElroy
Sex and gender systems are the set of arrangements by which a society transforms biological sexuality into products of human activity, and in which these transformed sexual needs are satisfied. It is very important in todays society that all different genders are respected, especially in the school systems. Students need to be able to feel comfortable in school and be able to express themselves to make them feel truly comfortable in their body. There are many different acts and laws that ensure that this happens. For example, FERPA makes sure that students records are kept private. This is especially important for transgender students, as if they choose other students or even faculty do not need to know that this student has decided to go through a gender transition. In 2011 Title IX was extended to make sure that LGBTQ students get the same rights as other students. This includes the school taking immediate action in solving harassment cases against these students, in the same way they would any other student filing a harassment case. In the video the book "They, She, He, Easy as ABC" is read. This book is child friendly and teaches the different pronouns and the importance of using them so others feel respected. The book goes by every letter in the alphabet and gives different examples of pronouns and genders for each letter. The book also gives adults a good opportunity to explain the pronouns in a fun, easy way for children to understand. It is important that people learn how to respect pronouns and the way others want to live their life at an early age during school, so that they treat everyone with respect and will not have issues in the future.
