In the second chapter, “The Girl”, Beauvoir further studies the idea of this oppression during one’s transition from a girl into a woman. Beauvoir states that no matter how much freedom and sense of self a girl holds, she is always forced into the role of the Other in society. Beauvoir 's idea of the Other held

As an author, Kurt Vonnegut has received just about every kind of praise an author can receive: his works held the same sway over American philosophy as did those of Jack Kerouac or J.R.R. Tolkein; his writing has received acclaim from academics and the masses alike; and three of his books have been made into feature films. Society has permanently and noticeably been altered by his writing. Through accessible language and easily-understood themes, Vonnegut has created works subtle, engrossing, and familiar.

All God 's Children by Fox Butterfield is a stunning story about a teenage murderer, Willie James Bosket, and the heritage of violence within his family. Through some incredibly creative and thorough research, Butterfield traces Willie 's family back to the Deep South where they had been slaves and provides in-depth portrayals of each family member in order to give a comprehensive historical overview through each generation. The pattern of violence and its connection to the culture of the South makes a very compelling case for the values of the antebellum South, as they translate to a modern urban environment, where drugs and guns are readily available, and hope is fleeting, as a root cause in our culture 's creation of violent sociopathic children like Willie Bosket. Author James Baldwin told an audience at a benefit for the reform school attended by the Boskets: ``These are all our children. We will profit by, or pay for, whatever they become. ' ' His words are quoted at the beginning of the book and are particularly powerful since they were said at the Wiltwyck School for Boys.

Sister Monica asserts in defense of transgender people that “God made day and night. There was also dusk and dawn and twilight. There’s no light switch ... can't [there] be more than two kinds of people?” (Gadoua). This argument complements the increasing rejection of the binary model of sex and gender.

Marx describes his time as one of widespread rebellion against the traditional power of the Church. (189) This trend of anti-religion continues today, and perhaps religion must become more inclusive so that there remains a congregation to preach to. Sister Monica claims to be motivated largely by the stigma and exclusion that transgender people face within the Church, and she insists that her duty to spiritually guide them was communicated plainly to her by God (Gadoua). Consequently, Sister Monica's story relays the message that religion is compatible with modern social justice values, which advocate for the rights and inclusion of transgender people and other
