Reflections on Gender Identity
Why did the boys during the homecoming rally
videos change their voices to be really ‘high’ when
the girls didn’t change theirs to be really ‘low’?
Why was the large football player in the dress the
cross-dresser that got the most laughs?
How might you feel as a boy who wanted to wear
dresses watching those videos?
Where Do These Ideas Come From?
• Gender-role development is influenced by the
formation of schemas, or mental representations, of
masculinity and femininity

you challenge them? WHY do you do this? (You’ve chosen to on
your own, it was modeled to you by your parents/teacher, you
have another role model that you emulate – please offer evidence
that this is WHY you act the way you act (you break gender
expectations when no one around you does etc.)
