      The part of last week's class that stood out to me was the first part of class when we talked about gender and the roles associated with it. The part of that discussion that interested me the most was our talk about the difference in gender identity and gender performance. I didn't really know there was a difference between these two. After talking about it, I took a closer look at some of my peers. One of my friends is a female, but she dresses somewhat like a boy. I have talked to her about it before, and she said that it's how she feels most comfortable. I never questioned her, and I'm glad I didn't since now I'm more educated about why she maybe feels that way.
