For this assignment, you will need to select a social phenomenon and critically analyze it. Since the gender binary is so limiting in its perspective, I want you to expand on your analysis and think about how different gender expressions and the concept of intersectionality would interpret this phenomenon. For example, when examining abortion, think of it more than just from the dominant white female/male perspective we are accustomed to hearing. What would transwomen say? Transmen? Gender queer? Your topics can include issues relating to sexual orientation, reproductive rights, masturbation, gender identity, paraphilias, fetishes, sex workers, sexual assault, etc. Please note you are not only limited to these topics. Take a look at your textbook for ideas, think outside the box, and be creative. Feel free to touch bases with me before you start your writing to make sure your topic is acceptable.
