Gender is differentiated with sex as social and biological. It is social construction and there are specific actions and expected norms in connection with it. Gender is not just matter of choosing a role, but influence by parents, peers, friends, culture, and society. Boys are required bravery, activity playing with toy soldiers on the other hand girls are susceptibility, sensibility playing with dolls. However it can occur big problem: Gender Discordance. In some societies they give up corrective therapy instead of do it even when they recognized. Then some of these individuals choice another role like transgender.
An often discussed mention between men and women is occupation. Women’s social participation is more increased but also exist tendency that concentrated in less prestigious and lower paying occupations. Similarly it is quite difficult for women to become top leader in business world. Lack of trust in shareholder women is important matter. Also in education part it is permitted to men only or most in the past. After that women’s portion is more increased, and at modern times not fall behind. Nevertheless the highest paid specialties are occupied by men. Furthermore the belief that men are more superior and capable than women, lower confidence in women. Also there are possibility women more likely to be the victims of crime.
I’m interesting with third identity shaman, medicine man, tong-ki, berdache, hijra, xanith, and transgender. Especially hijra is familiar because I studied in another class. It is India member that has both characteristic of male, female. And I knew glass ceiling about sexism term, now newly perceive glass cliff.
I wonder how resocialization the person who suffer gender discordance.
