The Public’s Perception of Human Experience Through Gender

Uncategorized 1 Minute

People have wrongly correlated gender with who a person is and how they experience the world in media and society because that’s what they’ve been taught.  Many people think that the only option in life is to experience the world through a specific lens based upon the body we were born into. Below are popular memes that show that people today still incorrectly believe that gender makes a person who they are because of the binary system that has been superimposed.

Loneliness-an emotion that everyone experiences regardless of gender. This image is a depiction of how society views a woman’s emotions vs. a man’s, as if emotions and human experience are derived from how one identifies.
This picture clearly says that someone is what their gender is, a very surface level analysis of a person and their human experience based simply off of anatomy. People are more than their gender and a holistic view of someone takes more than gender into account.
This meme clearly depicts that people have a certain idea in their head of what someone does, how they act, and how they experience the word based solely off of their gender identification or lack thereof.
This screenshot of this person’s comment went viral, because many people in the world think that being transgender means that you are “pretending” to be someone else. This idea is built off of the false foundation that we are our gender, and must experience the world through that identity.
