Welcome to the third part of our 3 part series on Personal Identity. In the first part, we talked about how one associates their identity with language and race. In the second part we talked about identities that don’t really have a strong association and one’s association of identity with their work in lack of any special hobbies, how does the perception of ethnicity shape future planning for inter-racial couples, and how does a not-so-decided relationship with God look like.
In this episode, we are talking about strong religious identity and how it shapes other parts of one’s identity. We are also talking about and understanding strong gender and sexual identity by listening to the story of someone from a transgender community.
