Description

Prompt:

Part 1

Because we all have genders and sexualities, and many of us experience both joy and difficulty around our genders and sexualities, our course materials have probably connected to you and your personal gender and sexuality story. As such, one of the central outcomes of this course is: what did LGBTQ studies teach me about myself and my subjectivity?

This assignment asks you to critically reflect upon your gender and sexuality through an intersectional framework. Create either a booklet, zine, video, poster, or other multi-media project that tells your personal gender and sexuality narrative. Use images—such as photos, artwork, and/or media—to help visualize your narrative. Your narrative does not necessarily need to be chronological (childhood into adulthood). Rather, it should express your creative vision of your gender and sexuality experience.


Part 2 Process Essay

After you complete your Identity Narrative, you will also submit a 3 page (double-spaced)process essay about how the readings, themes, topics, and discussions in Part I of the course (up until M 5/27) influenced how you created your narrative. Since this is a reflective writing assignment, please use the first-person ("I").

Growing up Different

Growing up different was a significant experience, inclusive of many heartbreaks and
identity problems, largely because I would find significant challenges fitting into various groups.
Although I had many friends growing up, most of them were only friends because they found me
different and because they were often warned of not taking up much of my behavior. I presented
the narrative with the intent of giving the audience an opportunity to understand the implications
of difference on family, and the extent to which the family unit could be the source of support or
difficulties as one sets out to understand his or her sexuality. For instance, comments and
perceived support from my mom as she tried to reduce the pressure off me noting that I would
grow out of some behavior I had adopted was a source of solace, and a factor that made me feel
secure enough around her. Ultimately, if families understood the impacts of some of their actions
on people considered different, it would go a long way to helping the said individuals integrate
appropriately into the community.
As social beings, people will always seek to have some association with others and
develop a sense of belonging in society. Irrespective of differences in sexuality and lack of
conformation to the common male/female dichotomy, members of the LGBTQ wish to be treated
just as other people in society are treated, without much reference to sexuality as a distinguishing
factor. Consequently, the narrative envisions creating an impression that although children are
viewed as being forgetful of some of their experiences, I still remember some of the incidences
in my life as a twelve-year-old now that I am 28 ...
