In one of our EN 102 sessions, we watched the documentary “Middle sexs, Redefining He and She” which educates us about intersex people. Director Antony Thomas explores the issue of gender and sex, presents facts and images of different gender expressions in various cultures, and introduces scientific studies that support non-simple gender roles such as male and female. This powerful film evokes strong emotions; it is disturbing to witness the intolerance and aggression that the characters and their families have to face every day. In the film, Noah's parents and stepfather fear for Noah's safety because he does not act or dress like a typical 8-year-old; ironically, they live in a “God-loving community and the church is very close-knit.” As Noah's father states: "We live in a community where there is a strong religious belief that Noah shouldn't be like this." Additionally, Noah's mother feels isolated from her community and overwhelmed by her family because "The Bible specifically teaches us that God created a man and a woman, who then fathered children." She is well aware that there is a more than 50% chance that others will hurt or even kill her son because of his undefined gender role. Unfortunately, Noah's mother's fear for her son's safety is a tragic reality for Gwen's mother. Blanken 2Gwen, a transgender teenager, was murdered by four teenagers in El Dorado County, California. These teenage boys had punched and beaten Gwen with cast iron, strangled her with a rope, then dumped her in a shallow grave and crushed her to death with rocks. Interestingly, El Dorado County is a quaint town whose residents are predominantly white Christians. After the film ended, we discussed in class... in the middle of the paper... Singer, Peter and Hauser, Marc. “Morality without God”. Utilitarista.net. Union project, January. 2006. In this column written by philosophers, Peter Singer and Marc Hauser claim that religious people are no more altruistic and virtuous than non-believers after conducting their experiment. Singer and Hauser describe three scenarios that are presented in their web-based moral sense test and examine participants' reactions. Through their explanations and reasoning, the authors conclude that our nature, not God, is the source of our morality. This column explores the source of morality and the motivation to perform good deeds; it also dispels the myth that atheists lack a moral compass. This article includes scientific studies that can be used as credible evidence to support my argument in my research assignment.
