Sensitivity Training, Thursday, October 20th

There were six questions on the board when class arrived today. If anyone read them, they'd have a pretty good idea what was going to be the subject this week.

And that they were blatantly copied from a book. Because they were way too PC for Guy to have come up with them.

"I hope you all enjoyed your vacations," he said, taking a seat on his desk. He was missing half any eyebrow and had was appeared to be a slight sunburn, so it was obvious that his vacation time was fraught with peril. Meaning it was an awesome week un space for him. "We're gonna keep talking about gender cr--stuff today. I want you all to write out your answers to each of these questions, but you don't hafta put your names on them if you're not comfortable with it."

Wiiiimps.

"Get to it."

Write these down, from one through six, with your own preferred level of anonymity and/or truthfulness:


1. Have you ever systematically considered how you developed your gender identity?
2. How are your gender identity and expression still informed or affected by your experiences growing up?
3. What messages do you send to others regarding what it means to be a "boy" or a "girl" or a "man" or a "woman"?
4. How did (has) your schooling play into your understanding of what it meant (means) to be a boy or a girl or a man or a woman?
5. Have you ever been ridiculed or denied an opportunity for doing or saying something that others didn't consider "masculine" or "feminine" enough? How did that make you feel? How did you react? How did it affect your life beyond that single incident?
6. Have you ever ridiculed someone else for doing something you didn't consider "masculine" or "feminine" enough?
