I thought that the movie about the latino woman was funny. It was making light of a rough situation. Sometimes joking about something serious can open up avenues for talking about it in a serious manner. It is not something to make fun of really unless you have gone through it or have a personal connection to the situation. If you haven't then sometimes people might just feel that you are going off of stereotypes.

How Do I Define My Gender?
Everyday when I wake up I take a shower. It is here where I uses pantene pro v shampoo and dove soap. These tend to be used more by women rather then men who use their axe body wash. Then I go and put on a little bit of makeup. This is something that men do not do, so this sets me apart from being male. The clothes I wear also define what gender I am in. I then go to school. At school if I need to go to the bathroom, I don't just pick which ever one is closer, I use the women's room. This draws a line between men and women. It makes it hard for someone if they are sure of their gender but not their sexuality. There are so many aspects of my day that make me who I am. I don't really feel that they influence my gender or sexuality, but that my gender and sexuality have influenced how I carry out my day to day routine.
