Vanessa was born a girl but was not born knowing how to be feminine. She is taught through our family, school, her peers, and the media. Society says that girls play with barbies so my sister is learning to be feminine through role playing with her barbies.
These two bathroom categories are socially constructed. There is no need for separate restrooms but, our society tells us there is. The constructionist sociologists see gender as a social construction and is created through our interactions with other members of both genders in our culture.
My grandmother is playing a nurturing, home maker role by raising her own kids and preparing meals for everyone as well. Functionalists believe that there are social roles more suitable for men and some more suitable for women. My grandmother is playing and expressive role by always being there for emotional support and is very nurturing.
My Mother and Father are two different sexes and are biologically female and male.
My sister is playing dress up which is a behavioral trait that our society considers normal for the members of the feminine gender.
