Similar to race, gender is also examined as a social construction by sociologists. Gender is also sometimes discussed as "fluid" and not "fixed. " To better understand both of these ideas listen to the podcast Invisibilia: "The Power of Categories". Listen to the "Introduction" and "Paige’s Story. " Paige identifies herself as sometimes being in "male mode" and at other times in "female mode. " Paige does not identify as transgender but as someone who is in "control of her identity. " Knowing this, identify three ways Paige’s identity is socially constructed. What do you make of Paige’s ability to change her posture and behavior as she goes between "female mode" and "male mode"? Can you identify times when you find your gender identity being more fluid instead of fixed? If so, when?

Three ways Paige's identity is socially constructed is the fact that she does not identify as only one gender, she feels "like a woman" at times, and she can alsp feel "like a man". Her ability to change her posture and behavior in order to fit a gender role shows that she tries to take on an identity that is not hers. I have never felt like my gender was "fluid" because I know what my gender is and I love everything about it. Despite how people feel on the inside or portray themselves to be on the outside, we are just who God created us to be. Self-love, I think, is the solution for these individuals.
