First we must define the term “Gender” then we must define the term “Transgendered”. Gender is the psychological, social, and cultural aspect of maleness and femaleness. However, Transgendered is a general term applied to a variety of individuals, behaviors, and groups involving tendencies to vary from culturally conventional gender roles (Newman 124). I believe that if society has the ability to construct a way of life “Social Construction”. For example pink is for girls, and blue is for boys. A lot of people are missing out on amazing things. Society puts so many boundaries on my role as a woman. If I had a child like Hailey, I would accept my child just the way they are. I would pray to God that her life wouldn’t be too difficult. I would go against societies idea and love her/him despite the differences. I believe gender is socially constructed. It was an idea created by “we” the individuals. Sex is given, but Gender is constructed. Why should I always have to conform to societies standards?
