C. ANALYSIS:
Instructions: Write your answers below
1. Were you able to experience the same changes? When?
- Yes, I experienced some changes when I was around the age of 11. I noticed the
growth of my pubic hair.
2. Can you change your natural or innate sexual organ and sexual response?
- If by organ you just meant the vagina and penis then yes you can change it with the
help of science and the sexual responses (sexual stimulation) won’t be the same as
before, because my cousin who’s a transsexual said that the response when he was a
man and now that he is a transsexual is quite different, but if it’s just how your sexual
system will response to STD’s and other sexual diseases which are out there it would
still be the same. By saying internal organs yes we can even alter the insides of a
human being for example It is possible, in reality, to have surgery that changes out the
internal sexual organs with the help of new technology, we can make surgically
provided and configured organs, which can be fully functional. And it is possible to
transplant a whole uterus (womb), and the recipient can bear a child as a result. So the
new sexual organs can be reproductively useful. So yes you can change your organs
and sexual responses.

F. APPLICATION/ASSESSMENT:
Instructions. Please write in a separate sheet your idea on the following:
1. Are you in favor of legalizing marriage among homosexuals and transgender? Why?
-this is a question that I don’t want to answer but it needs to be answered. My answer is
I don’t know, and perhaps only God does, even though I have casted out my religion
and I am no longer part of any religious affiliation I also believe in the word of God and
his words clearly stated that a man is for a woman and vice versa. But there’s also a
part of me that says isn’t this just because we are in a conservative society that’s why
we are hindering their want to get married and in reality if it makes them happy and it
harms no one why not let it be, and aren’t they also God’s creation and if them being in
love with each other (Homosexuals), if their feelings are genuine why is it still a sin?
And if that genuine feelings will lead them to get punished why were they created in the
first place? I’m very sorry ma’am if my answer is vague, this is due to the fact I can’t
really answer this question directly because even I don’t know the answer or perhaps I
have an answer but I don’t know if it’s right.
2. Can you identify which type of human sexual behavior you belong? Why?
-I’m a male because all of the sexual characteristics that I have belongs to that of a
male and I’m someone who always believed that sex is the physical and physiological
characteristics that you’re born with, and even though now we can change them with
the help of science we still shouldn’t change them because it has a lot of adverse
effects that can result in our own demise. In reality sex change wouldn’t really change
your sexuality it’s just a way in which you can falsely achieved your desired sexuality.
