Introduction to Women’s Study


Activism: Our group decided to go to a SAFE meeting at UCF to learn more about our project that we are doing. There we met up with Rebecca and stayed in to learn what the SAFE meeting was about as well as going to the weekly EQUAL meeting. We were told that in the equal meeting we were going to talk a little more about our project and also the video that Jen was going to make but it got canceled, and we haven't heard when they want us to talk about our project.

Reflection: Since we didnt get to do much for this week, i felt like we were not going anywhere with what we are doing, but like in our reading where Fight like a girl Seely, says that no community act is small, and pretty much what ever you try to do big or small, any little thing can be a big change (25). So what i decided to do is spread the word about the project to friends around campus so they can also spread the word and that way get more people involved in this issue

Reciprocity: With this week, i feel a lot stronger in what im doing in this project, because at first i was a little nervous on how people would react about a group of females fighting to get equal rights for the transgenders community, but after learning more about it and how they are discriminated I had more courage to fight for their rights
