Jaden Smith's Gender Fluidity
Known for his gender fluidity, many expect to see Jaden Smith’s 2016 fashion statement to be focused on dresses and skirts.

But that’s not entirely the case. Though Jaden Smith’s 2016 career is soaring, he is still a kid in some ways. Which is why he’s busy hanging out with his friends last week in Los Angeles, doing what boys do.

He showed off his serious skateboarding skills. The 17 year old didn’t hesitate on showing some skills. However, according to Just Jared Jr, he was harrassed by the paparazzi. In returen, he took his own camera and took pictures of them instead. He didn’t sport the occasional black skirt. It’s not a fitting outfit for skateboarding. But he did seem to be wearing some sort of black stretchy leggings.

    The documentary that I chose to do an analysis on is “Growing Up Trans”, a film that is showed on a T.V. a series called Frontline directed, by Martin Smith. In this documentary film it goes through the life of young kids that are planning to change there identity to a different gender. While the kids plan on taking hormone blockers they are being educated by doctors at Children's Hospital in Chicago, Illinois on how the hormone blockers are processed. Some of the parents are nervous because they don’t know if there will be long term side effects that may affect their child’s health. Hormone blockers are not well researched therefore they can be dangerous.…

    There are many factors that can determine gender identity. There is continuous research comparing the affect of both biology and environment on gender identity. Gender identity is almost always chromosomal sex although that isn't enough to rule out the affect of environment. Intersexuals are rare individuals who posses the typical external genitalia while possessing ambiguous sexual organs of the other sex. There are also hermaphrodites who possess both testicular and ovarian tissue. These two factors that determine gender identity are caused by hormonal factors in prenatal development. Hermaphrodites usually assume the gender identity of the sex assignment at birth. A sex assignment is the process of determining the sex of a child at birth. Intersexualism has given scientists a chance to compare environment and biology. Intersexualism means a person possesses a whole, either male or female reproductive organs. They also possess internal or external tissue of the other sex.…

    It's a Girl! is a documentary that exposes the issue of gendercide, "the systematic elimination of a gender group, usually females" (It's a Girl! Discussion + Action Guide), particularly in India and China due to the enormous size of their population. The documentary was broken into two parts: the first explained the matter in India and the second part was in China. In India the main issue was the dowry system while in China it was the one child policy; these two issues contribute to the cause of gendercide. The film showed a great emphasis on the problem of gendercide being a strong cause of the devaluation of women in these certain societies. One important problem that is caused by this is the ratios of men to women in both countries today.…

    I believe we need to treat transgender people equally just like we treat heterosexual people. It’s not by choice they assigned a gender at birth. For them their own inner gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. The essay, Transgender Portrayal Representation in Media, shows that more than a half of people mentally got effected by the influence of the media. Misleading of media hurts transgender people.…

    ime we start breaking the boundries of gender roles in fashion. A gender bender is a person who discords, or "bends", expected gender roles. This an espcially monumental time for Mens fashion and breaking the roles of gender. This August Gucci's show opened a whole different way to look at high-end fashion. The models looked more femine and even some of them were woman. Articles of clothing that are usually thought of as femine are making their back into mens fashion, such as skirts, silouettes, etc. As many people are thinking of this as a new trend blooming in fashion; gender-bending fashion has been around for a while. Although, it has not been seen much since the 70's, influencial people are promoting the use of gender swapping clothes.…

    Masculinity means having qualities or appearance traditionally associated with men it could either be strength in men or aggressiveness. The way society views masculinity is different from the dictionary definition; society defines masculinity in terms of race and class, roles and culture. Society requires men to be tough, assertive, head of the family and focused, whereas with women, they are required to be modest, tender, submissive and disciplined. When it comes to race and masculinity, the darker you are, the more people think you are dangerous, cannot be trusted and they are lazy while their counter-part who are lighter or white are treated differently with more trust and respect. This paper will explain why black people are seen as dangerous, untrustworthy and how Birth of a Nation portrays black and white masculinity. This movie was the most racist video ever made according to the video as it portrayed black men as predators who were lusting…

    To me, gender has always been the basic distinction between men and women. It signifies the difference between the way men and women lead their lives, how and with which gender they identify themselves. What this means to me, is that people divide themselves into two groups and identify themselves with the social attributes and gender roles associated with those genders. Gender is not simply the natural physiological distinction, it is also the construct into which people try to fit and identify with.…

    In this passage Gale and Peeta are talking to each other while Katniss over hears them. They are in the middle of their mission on capturing president Snow. They think that Katniss is asleep, while Gale says Katniss will pick whoever she thinks she can’t survive without. Katniss conforms to gender stereotypes by being confusing, indecisive, flirty and playing two different people. Katniss shows affection for both Gale and Peeta and confuses both of them throughout the novel on which one she actually loves. Stereotypically, women are confusing people that males can’t understand. This is mostly the case for Peeta getting sent many mixed messages which I think can be common IRL (In real life). Katniss is indecisive and plays both Gale and Peeta. Although judging by this quote Gale is basically saying she will choose Peeta, because Katniss says she can’t live without Peeta. Katniss follows gender stereotypes. Also I find that katniss is not really trying to be manipulative she is just indecisive she can both seem similar, just Katniss has no bad pretentions. Although I think both are stereotypes. Katniss is unsure throughout most of the series until it comes it to question saving someone or killing someone. Katniss never really knows what to do until for example, saving Prim or killing Snow. She never knows whether to fall for Gale or fall for Peeta. She does not know what to do in District Thirteen and does not know what to do in the games or choosing teammates for the…

    There are many categories within the gender complex, in which different types of people fall under. These different categories consist of gender identity, sexual orientation, physical gender and gender roles. Identity’s can be changed dramatically depending how a person feels about themselves and who they are attracted to the same or opposite sex. Some play role because it is what they must do. Judith Butler has explained that we all “act” out our roles and try to perform it but we are born without roles. People categorize themselves depending what role they should play whether they like their role or not; like now most women…
