Reflection – Gender Issues
1. Discus your own experiences with gender issues in your life (gender socialization, discrimination, stereotypes etc.)
2. How would your life would be different if you had been born a different gender?
Consider relationships, activities, self-esteem, feelings, advantages, disadvantages and so
on.
3. Consider how they would treat a close classmate (current or in the past), their best friend, or their significant other if they discovered he or she were a different gender. How do you think you would react? What questions might you want to ask this person? Would your
relationship change?
