During one of our EN 102 sessions, we watched the documentary “The Average Sexes, Redefining Him and Her” which teaches us about intersex people. Filmmaker Antony Thomas explores the issue of gender and sex, presents facts and images of various expressions of gender in various cultures, and presents scientific studies that argue that gender roles are not as simple as those of men and women. women. This powerful film evokes strong emotions; it is disturbing to see the intolerance and aggression that the characters and their families must face every day. In the film, Noah's parents and stepfather fear for Noah's safety because he does not behave or dress like a typical 8-year-old boy; Ironically, they live in a “close-knit, God-loving community.” As Noah’s father says: “We live in a community where there is a strong religious belief that Noah should not be like this. » Furthermore, 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 procreate." She is well aware that there is a greater than 50% chance that others will harm or even murder 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 teenagers had hit and beaten Gwen with cast iron, strangled her with a rope, then thrown her into a shallow grave and crushed her to death with rocks. Interestingly, El Dorado County is a quaint town where its residents are predominantly white Christians. After the film was finished we had a class discussion...... middle of paper ...... Singer, Peter and Hauser, Marc. “Ungodly morality.” Utility.net. Syndicated project, January. 2006.

Through their explanations and reasoning, the authors conclude that it is our nature, not God, that is the source of our morality. This column explores the source of morality and the motivation to do good deeds; Furthermore, it dispels the myth that atheists lack a moral compass.
