Actually, I never heard people speaking their "pronouns" before I came in Bryn Mawr College. Thus, gender and sexuality is a really interesting topic that I would like to explore. As a student in a all-women college, it is very common to see LGBT students in campus and during the Black Bryn Mawr trip, I noticed that one of the earliest presidents of Bryn Mawr College, M. Carey Thomas, had a woman parterner and never married during her life. I would like to find out how did the sexuality in Bry Mawr develop? Did any conflict happened in the history? Does the gender idea influnece the community and other people who come from other more conservative countries?
