I’m developing a unit of work for an 12th Grade English Class which explores Gender and I’m looking for short stories and novellas which explore a range of gender identities.
We’ve previously looked at texts such as Cockfight by Maria Ampuero Fernanda, Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica and Guts by Palahniuk in a previous unit, so the students are well versed in challenging and confronting texts.
For the Gender unit we are considering Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx, the episode “Long, Long Time” from The Last of Us, and the Barbie movie, but I’m looking for some shorter texts which explore more than just male identity as defined by toxic masculinity, or female identity as defined by trauma.
I’m hoping for something more diverse, and am open to other mediums too.
