This research investigates the linguistic implications of transgenderism with the objective of determining the impact of transgenderism on existing gender theories. The orientation of this research is situated in the linguistic field of pragmatics and adopts Yule’s (1996) classification of presupposition as the theoretical framework for this study. The research problem is hinged on the fact that disruptive processes create upheavals for existing structures such that the affected structures require critical rescue. In this connection, transgenderism and its attendant complications pose strong challenges for gender pragmatics. The data is a real-life video, captioned “Sorry, I’m A Man”, collected from JERRY SPRINGER – Transsexual Tell All official channel on YouTube. The method of this research is qualitative. The methodological paradigm is interpretive, based on content analysis. The relevance of this research is based on its contribution to resources geared towards salvaging humanity from adulteration and destruction, particularly being that language and gender are essential constituents of the existence of human beings.

This paper investigates the impact of Christian drama on social transformation through an analysis of two prominent Mount Zion Film Productions (MZFP) movies: Last Man Standing and Legion. Anchored on the Cultivation Theory by George Gerbner, which suggests that long-term exposure to media content can shape individuals' perceptions of reality, influencing their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, the study explores how MZFP effectively utilizes storytelling to address contemporary issues and promote Christian values. Through a thematic analysis encompassing faith, redemption, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and ethical dilemmas, the paper examines how these films engage audiences in thought-provoking reflections on Christian principles and societal challenges. Furthermore, it investigates how the films raise awareness, challenge stigmas, promote dialogue, advocate for change, and celebrate virtues while condemning vices. By comparing and contrasting the thematic elements and societal impact of Last Man Standing and Legion, this study offers insights into the potential of Christian drama to influence perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors within society. Ultimately, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of film as a medium for fostering social consciousness and spiritual renewal in contemporary culture.

This article explores the relationship between students' confidence in their ability to successfully learn English, the values that English will bring to them, and their impact on two factors: (1) English language learning outcomes and (2) participation in English language courses based on data collected from 603 students at University of Transport and Communication Ho Chi Minh City campus (UTC-HCMC campus). The article analyzes the differences between male and female students in these measurement outcomes. Confidence in the ability to successfully learn English is closely related to English language learning outcomes, while confidence in the usefulness of English is closely related to the decision to participate in English language courses.
