Activity 2:
List down five questions which you want to be answered related to Gender and
Sexuality. Explain why you want to answer these questions. Identify why you think these
questions are within the scope of gender studies.
1. In the education system, what would be the suitable age to discuss gender and
sexuality awareness? Is it okay to discuss it as early as on elementary?
2. What is the point of view of indigenous community in gender and sexuality?
3. In relation to question two, how different is their point of view to those
nonindigenous?
4. Are gender and sexuality mutually exclusive?
5. To which perspective is sexuality and gender viewed best?

For question one, I am quite curious on how the youngest generation would
react, whether or not they would accept the thoughts, how varied their understanding
would be, how would it affect their relationship to others since they are more interactive
with each other, and how it would affect them as individuals in growing up. After all,
there are persisting bullying cases related to gender even in the younger age group. For
question two, indigenous communities are viewed as traditional communities. They are
viewed to be still preserving traditions or beliefs that may be contradicting the
acceptance of different genders. Gender studies may give us an understanding on how
different type of communities, aside from age groups, receives gender and sexuality. I
also wonder on the effect of introducing gender awareness to indigenous communities
or would it be better to leave them with their beliefs. Questions four and five focus on
the definitions of gender and sexuality and how related or not the two are. Since there
are several perspectives to view gender and sexuality, I am interested on finding a
common ground that would best describe gender and sexuality.
In general, I want these questions to be answered to have a better understanding
on the concept. At the same time, it is the reason why these questions are within the
scope of gender studies; for people to have a better understanding. Gender and
sexuality cover a lot and viewed from different perspective. Yet, I believe that gender
studies are done to unite the thoughts or concepts to resolve an array of issues
regarding the topic.
