Q In this course we have discussed the concept of social constructionism. For example both race and gender are social constructs. Both are based in presumed biologies that lead to cultural expectations, biases, privilege, and oppression. We have come to reluctantly accept that being transgender is a legitimate challenge to the gender binary of cisgender male or female. The increased acceptance of persons like Caitlin Jenner, Janet Mock and Laith Ashley illustrate this. However, our society is more likely to dismiss the concept of a transracial identity. For example the blanket condemnation of Rachel Dolezal. I want you to think deeply about the concepts of transgender and transracial. Do you think they are both legitimate identities? If so or not, why? Make sure you support your answer. You need to be thoughtful in your response and you may need to conduct a bit of research online to help support your claims. While there is still a 200 word minimum, it will probably require more than 200 words. I look forward to reading your responses. • Points 10 • Submitting a text entry box
