Reflection

Looking back on it all, we've been up down and around on the topic of gender identities. From the 1800s, to now, and from the basics to the slightly less basic aspects. We started off with a basic approach and understanding of the issue, laying the grounds for the next 4 posts. Here we established the difference between gender and biological sex, along with the idea of the gender spectrum and how things aren't just black and white. We then moved on to learn about how it is obviously a global issue, and cemented Canada's very solid role in the issue and what it has to do, and has been doing to help it. I introduced an NGO and talked about briefly. Next, a more important post that looked into how the issue can be called an issue, along with how we can help solve it. Here I highlighted societies very forced ideals on the idea of gender (using public washrooms as an example). Finally, we chronicled some of the amazing history and milestones set by amazing indiviuals throughout the years.

In the end, the main idea and point that you should take away from my blog actually coincides with what I think a being a global citizen is; be happy with your life and let others be happy with theirs. Out yourself in the shoes of that one girl that not only hates the way she looks, but the way she was born. Think of how she has to be deprived of a childhood because of judgement, and as people around her are focusing on finding what they want to do with their lives, she's just trying to find herself.
