an introduction

Hello all

I apologize for this extremely delayed post but I just about figured out how to use this website.

To say that I was always interested in gender and sexuality would be a lie. Where I come from sexuality is never discussed and gender has a list of pre conceived notions attached to it. Why did I take the class? Because I wanted space to question all these concepts I had been raised with and the class seemed like it would attract people who would aid that process.

I am one of the three freshmen in the class and so I have no theoretical knowledge about the subject. But I’ve lived it, for almost my entire life.

The things we talk about in class and the assignment we've been given make me realize that I have a long way to go before I can draw my own, firm conclusions on issues related to gender and sexuality. Already, my mind has begun moving around hysterically, with questions and concepts splattering on its surface and fading away. As always, this process is a good one.

The class exceeded my expectations, and right now, I’m just excited to see where it will take me.
