Alexander Reading Response

Synthesis
Alexander's article, "Transgender Rhetorics:  (Re)Composing Narratives of the Gendered Body," relates to Malinowitz, Wardle, Gee, Swales, Baron, and McCloud. It relates to Malinowitz because both articles talk about acceptance in the LGBT community. Both articles also talk about the struggles. It relates to Wardle because of identity, acceptance, and belonging are main points in both articles. It relates to Gee because it talks about the individual and conflicting discourse communities. It relates to Swales because he talks about acceptance. Baron also talks of acceptance along with social influence and progression. It relates to McCloud's mask idea.

Thoughts
I really liked this article. I like all of the articles about awareness. I also did not know very much about the transgender community, so the article was interesting to me. The videos I watched online taught me a lot also.
