, As a religious person, I chose the first of the three topics for this paper. I am a Christian and with
that comes a lot of ‘do and don’ts’ and what you must believe and what you are not allowed to. In
this paper we will discuss one of my ethical conflicts which I am facing every day and have decided
that going against the religious tenants is something I must do, for myself, in order to feel good
and just about it. These are my own private reasoning and I do not expect anyone to agree or
understand them, I have never asked anyone to even accept them, it is just where my mind is at on
the journey in this discovery and something I am working through. The three topics will include
gender issues, alcohol consumption and attending Sunday church services. I chose these three

know how he made them, which can be any of the 58 genders which is now accepted (Goldman,

2014). For myself, I have to go against the norm of those who is also Christian because I cannot
see or come to terms with there being more than the two genders. I feel someone with testicles is
a male, someone with a vagina, is a female. How they choose to feel, act or who they love does
not come into this equation, this gender is just who they are, by their biological DNA. I believe
