Grey's: Gender Rhetoric

Being that I am an avid Grey’s watcher, I was excited to notice some of the things we have been talking about in class in this episode. First, I will start of with Donna. Donna reminds we of the story we read about being transgender and poor. She is going over the top to become a woman by sacrificing her life to breast cancer to become a woman. Meredith at first is confused when she meets Donna because Donna looks like a woman. Once she find out about Donna she is a little freaked out, but she seems excited about helping out with this unique surgery.
Now switching to the campout, the Chief finds out about the gay couple and he is a little over accepting, but saying he is all for “man-love.” The Chief also learns that the couple is not that different from him, because they want kids. He realizes that he does not have kids because his wife would be raising them all alone and the same is with the couple because one owns a bar and is always working there too. O-Malley and Corev get into a fight over Dr. Torez. O’Mally has to defend his manhood, but he has to defend it by open-hand combat (a slap fight). Also on the camping trip, every man shows or proves the gender performance theory. They have the firly-man, Walter, the Chief who had the hotel pack him pate and crackers along with silver wear to go camping, and the two outdoors manly men, McDreamy and the bartender.
Lastly, Sloan (Mc Steamy) is trying to start a erotic triangle with Meredith and McDreamy by making Meredith decide who to date. And just a little side note, I am so glad Meredith chose McDreamy!!!
