We are asking that WM students cross-dress or genderbend on Wednesday, April 9th. In the evening, there will be a forum in Washington 201 from 6-9pm to discuss the issues of sex and gender. The forum will include Dr. Camilla Buchanan, a local OBGYN, and WM students discussing the impact of gender in everyday lives. It will also include fun demonstrations and activities. Even if you don't attend or dress up, invite you friends so that they know what's going on and to spark some discussion!
Our group project is addressing the issue of gender in American society, specifically the difference between sex and gender. We have chosen to do this because a strict gender binary and the idea that gender should correspond with sex is alienating to those who do not identify as the gender associated with their sex, those who do not always identify with only one gender, and those whose sex category is ambiguous at birth.
