Description
For this posting, I want to get you all thinking about Gender Dysphoria. As you read about Gender Dysphoria, you may have different feelings, especially since each one of us has a very intimate sense of our own gender. Based on a traditional understanding of gender and biological sex, there has been the general understanding that our gender and our biological sex (and our physical bodies) should match. For those with Gender Dysphoria, this match is missing. I would like you to explore your feelings about gender issues and consider how gender may actually be on a continuum after watching the following program (that can be broken up into five segments).

So, after watching this program, you may be wondering why we can't just "re-program" someone's gender to match their physical body. I wanted to provide you another program that will be thought provoking regarding this topic, and see how you might be thinking. Check this out:

For your posting, collect your thoughts and share your thinking about gender and biological sex. Also comment on why society suggests that gender is categorical and finds it so difficult to see gender as a continuum. Please be respectful in your responses as we are all somewhere different on this continuum.
