After finish my third year at Uni, working towards my degree in women and gender studies, I thought I'd share a bit about what i've learned. I've come a long way, and feel pretty transformed compared to when I just arrived at school
It's Relevant
Most people from my hometown in rural Wisconsin react the same way when I tell them about my major. They ask if there are any jobs in the field, or what it is that women with this kind of degree do.
During my time at school i've had the chance to meet a lot of professionals in the field. There are people working as writers, for schools, as marketing consultants, and the list goes on. The result of this degree is that you are wise when it comes to a very important social issue. Many companies will pay you to make sure you keep them looking good.
Gender Is A Spectrum
Gender isn't just masuline or feminine, it's not that black and white. Instead it's a spectrum where you can have people anywhere between these two points. Some people might be more balanced. And your gender doesn't coincide with what private parts you have, it's not just about anatomy. Anyone can be anywhere on the gender spectrum.
