Document Summary

Observations: it has been a constant struggle to interest men in gender courses, many young women seem convinced that the battle for gender equality has been won and is now passe. Four benchmark ideas when exploring gender issues: gender is a vantage point of critique, gender is a social construction, gender is realized in social roles and institutions, gender is a relation of power and inequality. Cisgender: the term for those of us who are the gender we were assigned at birth. Transgender: the term for those of us whose gender is not the one we were assigned at birth. Those of us who are trans may be men or women but have been assigned a different gender at birth, or we may not be a binary gender. While these might be different at different times, or in different cultures, it is distinguished from other expressions of masculinity that are subordinate and/or marginalized and it is especially distinguished from femininity.
