Today I began brainstorming some events for next semester. One of the initiatives I wanted to take was to gender ambiguity and androgyny in the spotlight for the Ramapo community to understand. During my research I found a great website called Genderfork.com which I thought was really amazing.
This collaborative blog contains pictures, stories, poems, quotes, and profiles on individuals who chose not to buy into gender norms and who, like the Women’s Center, see Gender as a social construct. These individuals are brave enough to live their lives and express themselves in a more androgynous manner, and furthermore are proud enough of their custom-made identity that they are willing to share it on the internet for the masses to witness.
Furthermore, this website helps to form a powerful community where members can reach out and ask questions to fellow genderqueer or nontraditional folks about issues such as people’s reaction to their appearance, or the steps they need to take in order to be comfortable with their own bodies and appearances.
Check it out folks! It’s pretty amazing.
