"Boys Don't Cry": Historical Implications Of Gender Assumption
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The impact of historical American gender assumptions and gender expectations upon Brandon Teena, the main character in 1999's Boys Don't Cry, illustrates the perpetual cycle of racism that has permeated society for centuries. When the student considers the extent to which Teena goes in order to live life as a male, rather than the biological female genetic composition with which she was born, it becomes very clear how unevolved society is as a whole when it comes to people living outside the ever-stringent boundaries of social dictates. Bibliography lists 5 sources.TLCboys.rtf

"Invisibility" and Homosexuality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the phenomenon of becoming "invisible" as a means of dealing with societal prejudice. Examines the choice of some homosexuals to keep their homosexuality restrained. Concludes that invisibility only causes tremendous ambivalence and distress, and reiterates the contentions of the film "Torchsong Trilogy" that self-hatred is the greatest enemy of the gay world. Invisibility is as much victimization as is a hate crime which targets homosexuals. It is, however, a victimization in which the victim is also the perpetrator. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Organizing And Activating Effects Of Sex Hormones In Homosexual Transsexuals": Summary & Critique
[ send me this paper ]
2 pages in length. Understanding the propensity towards transsexuality has perplexed the medical community for decades. Not only is this particular population subcategorized by many different variables, but any definitive findings about why this behavior exists has eluded psychological and physiological research time and time again. Authors van Goozen et al (2002) attempt to piece together a logical progression of events that may occur while the fetus is still within the embryo as a means by which to correlate reasons behind homosexual transsexualism through hormone treatment. No bibliography.

10-point Plan To Bring Security And Peace To Homosexuals, Feminists And Abortion Supporters
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. People from all walks of life must endure social intolerance at one time or another; however, certain groups face prejudicial persecution on a regular basis. What is the answer for gays, lesbians, feminists and proponents of abortion that would bring a sense of peace and
security in this lifetime? Is it too much to hope for that social bias begin to wane in exchange for a more understanding and open-minded world? Indeed, what lies at the foundation of all intolerance – be that toward homosexuals, feminists or those who support abortion – is a combination of fear and ignorance, an alliance that not only
precludes the chance for security and peace but one that also encourages just the opposite. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
