4. Gender = a construction
(that does not have to be awful)
“Gender is not physical at all, but
is altogether insubstantial. It is
soul, perhaps, it is talent, it is
taste, it is environment, it is how
one feels, it is light and shade, it
is inner music, it is a spring in
one’s step or an exchange of
glances, it is more truly life and
love than any combination of
genitals, ovaries, and hormones”
Jan Morris Conundrum
17. Gender as play
“People of all sexes have
the right to explore
femininity, masculinity—
and the infinite variations
between—without
criticism or ridicule.”
