After looking for into my own gender identity I really noticed that I am a little obsessed with talking about my family when it comes to gender. So this being said I want to continue my research into looking at the impact of family on ones gender. More specifically want to look at how one’s parental figures shape their gender. I want to see if same sex partners have any different impact on a child’s gender then that of the normal heterosexual couple. Not only looking at the verbal and non-verbal impacts of parenting styles but also how parents can be the bases to one’s own gender identification. I would want to look at different couples and also their children. Through research and interviews I think I could understand the role in which ones parents play in their gender. Also using modern media such as the television show “Modern Family”.
