Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

Intersex thoughts
When I first started reading the article I honestly felt a little uncomfortable because I didn't know that a person's gender could be determined without their consent(the writer's gender was chosen at birth because she was intersex). I would imagine that it feels violating to have your gender choice made that way. Even though the child was intersex I feel when the child grows up they should probably be the one making the decision on gender. And then she mentions how the Trump administration is trying to classify gender in a way that doesn't seem to consider intersex and transgender people. There obviously needs to be more awareness and consideration for people with complicated gender, so that when big decisions are being made about gender there is more consideration for them.
