As we are approaching the end of this course, it made me think: will there ever be a day in life where the world will accept homosexuals and transgenders?
I feel as though the world mandates this system of binary (either ‘female’ or ‘male’) in order to rationalize everything and keep life simple. Just as though there would be no rich if there were no poor, does the world fear that without such classifications and categorization of gender, chaos will result from this confusion of ambiguity? The society seems to prioritize physicality over mentality when it comes to gender assignment as the physical appearance of the body is what determines your sex at birth. However, clearly there needs to be a new method of assigning sex at birth that integrates psychological aspects since we know better now that there is much more to gender than one’s physicality. This will perhaps help change societal perspectives of homosexuals as it becomes more apparent that gender is far more complicated than one may think, and they may realize that this nature happens by chance, not by choice.
Personally, it just amazes me sometimes how some people could be so narrow minded (I mean this with all due respect) and unaccepting of individuals who have different sexual orientation when essentially, they are the same human beings. Especially when they go to the extent of protesting and encouraging anti-gay community, I think it's just too excessive and inappropriate.
