Gender

 

    Gender is a sensitive topic to talk and write about now days. I am just going to share some of my beliefs that I have on gender, and I don't want to offend anyone because I am a loving, caring, and open person. 

    There are social norms in todays society, which include the way genders act. For example, females are more thought of to be more nurturing, more mature, aware of more things, and communicative. Whereas males are more protective, myopic, and spatial. These attributes are the norms of these genders, and in a marriage it is good to have different attributes and roles. In society these norms are telling people how each gender should act, but it is okay for men to be nurturing and soft, and it is okay for a women to be a provider and to work, and to be protective. In my own family, my dad is the provider and protector and my mom is nurturing, and cleans and cooks. My family is following the norm of society. But I know a lot of women who work and they are the providers of their family, and I know that men that stay home and take care of the children. It just depends on the family and what they want. 

    Also, in todays society people are being more accepting to those that are physically attracted to the same sex. But still it is kind of hard for people who are attracted to their same sex. They struggle with temperament, bullying, sexual abuse seventy percent, emotionally sensitivity, and wounded gender ID, and parental connections seventy percent. There is a common theory about it being genetic, that they are born that way, which causes people to think there is no other choice/ agency. People are able to inherit and pass this trait on generations. 

    When we are kids in elementary school, we are just trying to make friends and most kids want to have relationships with their same gender. When I was in elementary school, that was basically what happened to me, basically all my friends were girls, I had a couple guy friends. Does public school play apart in the development of sexuality? I really don't think so because every kid has different backgrounds and parents. I think it is the way they grow up in the home. I had an acquaintance that was a girl and had a boyfriend and everything, then she is a transgender and now dates girls. I think that maybe the way she was living and the people she was around changed the way she felt and made her want to be transgender. I don't think it was something she was born with but that she learned and became interested in it and wanted it. 

     I believe that women and men should only be attracted to each other. I don't agree with same sex marriage. I know that a lot of this stuff is going on in the world and that same sex attention is being more excepted into todays society. It is hard because I have friends that are okay with it and that are attracted to the same sex, and they always ask me why I don't agree and why I have a problem with it. And I just say that I believe that men and women should be attracted to each other and that marriage is between a man and woman. God ordained that marriage is between a man and woman. If you believe in God and what He teaches and counsels us to do, then you would also agree with me, that same sex attraction is not okay and shouldn't be in todays society.
