    1) The document discusses the distinction between sex and gender. It notes that sex refers to biological characteristics assigned at birth, while gender refers to social and cultural roles that may differ from biological sex. 2) It discusses arguments for and against distinguishing between sex and gender. While the distinction rejects the idea that gender is determined by biology, others argue that biologically sex is determined at birth which could influence gender. 3) The response identifies several key things learned from the reading, including insights about how society affects gender choices and discrimination, and questions about concepts that were unclear like degendering and intentional/imaginary bodies.

    MRR1- Do We Need a Sex/Gender Distinction

    1. What are the three things that you significantly learned from the reading?

    a. Firstly, I'm not that attentive when it comes to gender. I respect both the sex and
    gender of all people, and I don't have a concern whether people have a problem
    confirming their sex and gender because, in the end, it's still their choice. In my
    opinion, we don't have a right to judge other people's chosen gender/sex roles
    because it's their own thing. By reading this article, I’ve learned some information
    regarding sex/gender distinction. Based on what I read, the distinction between
    gender and sex differentiates the sex people from their gender, which can be
    described as chosen social roles connected to their sex. I've learned some insights
    about gender, how society affects people in their choice because of discrimination,
    and other negative comments. Also, I now think that gender determines the actual
    person and their state.

    b. The word "Distinct" doesn't ring a bell to me; it's my first time hearing it. After I read
    the article, I've learned its meaning and purpose regarding sex and gender. It is so
    helpful against things that imply that gender is what you are born, basically saying
    that your sex determines your gender. Distinction rejects that idea. It can be used to
    stand for people that have different ideas about gender identity. In this case, the
    words sex and gender are not related; they are separate entities. There is no
    difference between them because each person has different ideas about how society
    should treat them.

    c. Despite all the uses of the distinction of gender and sex, there is still some argument
    against it. One reason is that biologically, sex is already given at birth. All
    chromosomes and DNA that the body made up is needed to determine people's sex,
    how they move or act, and this could be correlated with the gender of people. That is
    why people forcefully change their sex to clarify their gender.

    2. What three things about the reading are unclear to you?

     The meaning of intentional and imaginary body as well as their differences

     The concept of degendering and its two different meanings.


     Cover of Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch

    3. What three questions that you want to ask about the reading?
    1. More explanation about the two different important meanings about degendering.
    2. What is the intentional and imaginary body?
    3. What is the simplest analogy about “Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch”?
