Re: Gender- Ask a Pro Live with Kai and Olivia July 25th 2019
Hello everyone! We had a few more questions from the live discussion that our speakers have responded to and we would love to share these!
Here are a few of the questions we didn't get to on the night, but are really valuable to this discussion on Gender!
What is "gender studies" at university? What careers can a major in gender studies lead towards?
Kai has written a response to answer this question!
" 'Gender Studies' is a major that you can pick with a Bachelor of Arts and it basically explores how gender is explored in the everyday world. You can go on to teaching it, or if you take masters degrees in other topic areas, for example psychology, you could go on to being a therapist and more into that side of things, but there are also careers such as analysts and more statistical typed careers."
If you are interested in gender studies, speak to your university about your study and career options!
Do people often confuse gender and sexuality?
Olivia's response: "Yaaaaas! How come that's still happening?? I think a big problem is the confusion about gender expression. How I look or act does not tell you what my sexuality or gender is. Gender, Sexuality and Gender Expression are different and may not line up like you would expect"
Kai's response: "ALL THE TIME WOW, but the best way I've learnt to explain it is: Sexuality is who you're attracted to or go to bed with and gender is who you are and who you go to bed AS."
For more information about the difference between gender and sexuality, you can read this ReachOut article here, or have a look at the gender unicorn infographic here:
