I have restated my thesis a little AGAIN.
My thesis is now,
The fact that minor gender identities are being discriminated by the society for identifying themselves in the gender they feel comfortable is unethical, hence, there is a need for the society to have a more flexible and accepting attitude towards gender, as there are more that two types of gender categories in the world.
Firstly, I will explain the fact that there are differences between sex, gender and gender identity.
This will explain concept of gender minorities.
I will then explain the types of genders humans self identitfy in and the issues each type faces.
Lastly, I will explain why they face these issues and the effects which will help me explain why there is a need for the society to have a more flexible and accepting attitude towards gender.
In conclusion, I will sum up the idea that gender is broad and should not have limitations, it is natural to not be able to associate with the gender / sex one is, and is necessary for the world to understand this and change their views towards gender minorities.

CA Blogging Assignment #1
The topic I chose for essay 1 is identity in gender.
The reason for why I chose this topic is because identity is a major interest of mine and I wanted to approach it from a perspective I have never gone into depth before - gender.
For the essay last trimester we did concerning culture, I researched the types of identities of Zainichi Koreans and realized that identity is something we create according to what we feel comfortable as or what we can understand and relate to, not just heritage or physical appearances, such as gender. Therefore, identity regarding gender is not formed by the physical traits which create one to be male or female, it is what one feels comfortable as or can understand.
However, females who do not act female or vice versa are not appreciated or accepted by the majority of the society. I feel that this is discrimination and a form of violation agaisnt humanity as they are restricted in freely expressing themselves. Hence, there is a need to change the society's attitudes towards identity through gender.
My thesis statement for my essay (as of now) is, although gender is a way to classify humans, it should not be used in the process of identifying them as gender is not only restricted as just two types.
