1. Steven Pinker states that the primary color of our moral sense are harm, fairness, community, authority, and purity. And what hallmark of moralization means is that people feel that those who commit immoral acts deserve to be punished. Another hallmark of moralization is the rules it invoked are felt to be universal. One example would be if someone said “I don’t like broccoli but I don’t care if I eat them” but no one would say “I don’t like killing but I wouldn’t care if you murdered someone.” How all of that is being challenged in Jay Prosser’s
“The Body Narrative of Trnassexuality” is when he says he doesn’t like to confront people about his sexuality. He doesn’t have that community to go to. He states “I had remained unable to remark on, to reassure, or to confront others over my inbetweenness.” He doesn’t feel like his student that felt that transition from college student to beginning graduate school. 2. In the documentary Middle Sexes: Redefining he and She, the narrator Gore Vidal asks “if sexual diversity is natural, how can it be threatening? Why does it excite such hate?” From my unique position as a member of an individual community, I think it exits hate so much because
It’s something different. Most people are so use to men being men and women being women.
And now that they are people that are going from men to women or vise versa it scares people. It’s something people aren’t use to. A lot of people don’t like change. It’s scary for some of those people that have that mentality of everything has to be the same. A ladyboy challenged the community. It makes you think is a ladyboy normal?
