Susan Stryker
After reading the Susan Stryker article, i was very overwhelmed. I did not realize that there were so many terms used within the area of transgender and transsexuals. I often use the terms interchangeably and do not think anything of it. It could be offensive to someone if you mix them up. I also had more respect for the reading when we found out in class that she herself is trans. Did she write the article so that people can keep the terms straight and stop using them wrong?
