300 words short comment about one short video, one news, and Allan G. Johnson's book "Privilege, Power, and Difference".

Think through what's happening in Johnson.  How do our gender norms, expectations, and policing create hostile environments for people who don't fit?  How are gender and sexuality related, and how are they distinct?  How do these two recent stories confront or leave absent intersections of identity?  How does the material this week change your understanding of the "natural"?
