This Fall semester I am taking a class called Gender and Identity. We will be studying from a text book called Gender Stories: Negotiating Identity in a Binary World by Sonja Foss, Mary Domenico, and Karen Foss. At least twice a week I will be blogging my thoughts about the text book, in class discussions, or other occurrences in my day that relate to the topic. At times this topic may be uncomfortable, but I'm excited to use it to glorify Jesus. This is quite a challenge, because when most people discuss gender and religion together negative things happen. In my opinion, both sides are portrayed inaccurately and unfairly. My goal of this blog is to bring to light how Jesus loves everyone, no matter what gender they give themselves. This class will also be exposing me to new concepts I have never heard or thought about, so I will use the blog as a way to process my thoughts on them. Feel free to post comments, because I will use them in my final paper for the class.
Thanks!
