Description

This 2-page discussion guide asks a variety of questions inspired by the short story “Coming of Age in Karhide” by Ursela le Guin. The short story takes place on the same planet as her famous novel “The Left hand of Darkness.” In this world, people have no fixed gender — instead, they go into “kemmer” and their anatomy changes monthly depending on the energy of their partner. Not only will the discussion guide help you break down and better understand the story itself, but it will also prompt you to discuss a variety of questions about modern life — including how our gender identity shapes our education, relationships, and sexuality! If you are looking for a fascinating story to read with family or friends, use this discussion guide to ensure that your conversation dives deep into meaningful questions!

*”Coming of Age in Karhide” is not included with purchase — however, it can be found via the world wide web.
