Document Summary
Systemically imposed, people have gender encoded onto them. They are parts of systems that we learn: the sex-gender system is socially constructed rather than absolute. It does not come from the biology of being. Whiteness and social class is significant to the narrative of the self. We naturalize the divisions of masculinity and femininity. Bobby noble our bodes are not ourselves (2006) He is a man who considers himself half lesbians. He was a woman who came from a white middle class family and he had surgery and hormonal treatment to change genders and now he"s a prof at york. The body has changed but he still has the same body. The body remains even after it has shifted with its relation to sex and gender. Queer and trans folk are deconstruction worker". For the way, it demonstrates that the bodies we see are made by labour and are not just.
