Felix Saldana Introduction

Hello, my name is Felix. I just finished my associates in science at Laguardia Community College and transferred here to Hunter College.  I am most likely majoring in Physical Anthropology as a gateway into a PA program, but haven’t quite figured it all out yet.  I became interested in gender and sexuality a couple years ago when a friend told me she was non-binary, which I learned means that she does not express her gender with being feminine or masculine, it’s kind of a mix of both.  I also learned that gender does not define sexuality and vice versa.  To be honest it’s confusing because I have known about gay, lesbian, and transsexuals, practically all my life, but it was this new term that made me want to understand more about what gender is really, how it’s different from sexuality, and how we are all affected by the these roles of man or woman. I believe that we humans are constantly evolving and that gender and sexuality perhaps is evolving alongside us.  I’m hoping to learn more about the history and evolution of gender  and sexuality roles so that it can aid me in my future career and for personal growth. Overall, I am excited for my first semester at Hunter. Good luck to all of  you!
