Understanding the
The unofficial yet elegant and simple guide to
gender awareness.
Gender today is defined as A social cultural
and personal construct. We have
moved away from binary definitions
and it is not a biological construct; separate
from the sex-based categories of
male/female.
But its not really about gender is it? Its
about how you think and act. The lack
of understanding that creates bullying
and can be verbal, physical, or via
the Internet. It can severely affect the
victim’s self-image, social interactions,
and often leads to insecurity, lack of
self-esteem, and depression. Who in
their right mind would be happy to see
others suffer? Probably those that suffer
the most. maybe some in the LGBT
community felt it happen to them and
now they do it to others. We have many
bullies all around us. I see it on face
book, constant jabs and creating social
clicks that exclude rather the include.
People even use their friends to trick
them into bullying others. Some times
its just intentional. We may be crazy
but really we are all we have, we should
make life better not harder for others.
Optical illusion?
Above, how many legs can you count?
The information that your eyes feed
back to the brain must to be understood
by the brain,
While the brain is quite clever at
guessing what it should be seeing and
sometimes this difference can be quite
astounding.
Can you all spot the different animals
that are with the elephant, or even a
part of the elephant?
