Genderstraddlers 12 years, 2 months agoOkay, so is it wrong of me to suggest that sex and gender can be unrelated concepts? In that a person’s physical sex doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their gender presentation?
Because I totes wrote that in my last MA essay and the ‘expert’ on gender theory (she is a professor of women’s writing) at my university disagreed. Apparently…[Read more]-
You’re totally right, in my opinion. I get where people tend to think that they’re related, but that’s because they take what has become a societal norm and assume it’s genetic, like a person’s genitalia.

And I know what you mean about getting used to being around understanding people – sometimes I use a word like “cisgender” in conversation and am honestly puzzled by the blank looks I get in…[Read more]-
Yeah I knew you weren’t being snarky or anything.
It really frustrates me that these issues/terminology aren’t widely known or accepted. I mean, my friends, who are otherwise intelligent and liberal people, have no idea what I’m talking about when I bring up heterosexism or benevolent sexism etc. And it also frustrates me that ‘heterosexism’ gets…[Read more]-
There’s a really excellent explanation of this stuff here: http://tranarchism.com/2010/11/26/not-your-moms-trans-101/ I certainly use it for various arguments I get into!
