Isis King and Janet...This was a great conversation! Isis King and Janet Mock are simply two beautiful women. They not only overcame the transgender stereotypes, but also racial stereotypes. At one point they address the use of the "tranny" and the "n.." words. These reflects how engaged and aware of the whole picture they are, and brave to face it. In my mind, it is just crazy the idea of juggling with both the sexual identity and the negative reaction from the society. These women just did it graciously!sanmariacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713633721479316158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349274489320343637.post-4690528983539516732012-12-07T07:53:14.604-08:002012-12-07T07:53:14.604-08:00I absolutely agree with you Sarah!

Someone at the end of class on Wednesday had made the comment that prior to this class she was quite indifferent about transgendered individuals and even now learning more about them she did not care. I am not one to judge but my question is how one can be ambivalent, still, after obtaining such an extensive amount of information about who they are and their struggle to just "not care". With education comes the responsibility of using what you have learned to educate the masses. Now, I'm not saying to go and become an activist of any sort, but ambivalence is just as bad as being a witness to a hate crime; our lack of motivation to want to exact change makes us a perpetrator of the brooding hatred and disgust for transgendered individuals as well.
