Watch the “The Story of Sam” and make
a short Reaction Paper using this guide
questions:
a. What is the moral lesson of the
story?
b. What ethical principle can you
apply in an outsider’s point of
view? Explain briefly.
‘As they grow older, Sam struggles with
the same emotions that many trans
children experience – and the same ones
represented by the toy – eventually pulling
away from her family, friends and even her
twin.’
‘Sam helps children empathize with the
emotional challenges of being born a
transgender or gender-diverse person,’ it
says.
‘Most gender-questioning children are
born into cultures that don’t accept them.
They are often subjected to physical,
verbal and sexual harassment leading to
feelings of rejection, isolation and
confusion.’
Each of Sam’s layers represent a different
stage of gender exploration. The toy
comes with a booklet and e-book
explaining to parents how to deal with
children who identify as transgender.
In the viral short film explaining the toy's
backstory, we're introduced to a child named
Sam, along with Sam's twin brother. As they
grow older, Sam begins to question the idea of
gender, experiencing the very same emotions
represented in the toy. At the end of the film,
twin brother was Sam's inner self all along.

Sex
Sex means different things with different
people, on the medical point of view generally
it refers to:
• biological difference between male and
female such as genitalia and genetic
difference
(in others it is an intercourse or love making)

Sex is considered as taboo

o Sex is unmentionable
o Not to be discussed in public
o Seldom topic between children and their
parents and is considered as mortal sin
o Open and sane discussion of sex is
"verboten" (bawal)

Meaning of Sex to the Individual

(Timbreza, F.)
− Method of experience of each others
worth (realizing that you need that
person to complete you and in return
this person's values you as part of his
being to complete his life)
- An appeal for mutual care
(mutual care - this is how you give
yourself to a person who you love as if
you are sharing each others being)
- Sharing each other's being
(not merely the intimacy but rather with
that of respect, with that of giving
oneself to that person which will make
you whole. )
