GENDER JUSTICESome helpful definitions:SEXUAL IDENTITY: The objective categorisation of a person's physiological status as male or female.Sexual identity, especially, gives problems. Does it mean genetic status as XX or XY, or does it mean the sum of our development up until birth? Or is it simply the social label applied to us by our birth certificates?GENDER IDENTITY: A subjective, but continuous and persistent, sense of ourselves as masculine or feminine. SEXUAL PREFERENCE: (or sexual orientation) refers to a person's preference for the same or opposite sex partners, eg, homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, queer. Even then there is a distinction between who one has sex with, which is more to do with one's sex object, and who one can build a relationship with. GENDER ROLE or SEX ROLE:. The behaviours, attitudes values, beliefs and so on that a particular cultural group considers appropriate for males and females on the basis of their biological sex.Given the confusion about this terminology in the literature, we suggest that sex role refers to whether someone lives a male or female role, while gender role is how he, she, or zir, lives that role. GENDER ROLE/IDENTITY: refers to a person's understanding and acceptance of gender roles. In other words it is how an individual adapts the prescribed sex role to his, or her, individual identity.GENDER PRESENTATION: We have added this definition because, while gender identity is subjective and internal to the individual, the presentation of one's self either through personality or bodily habitus is what is perceived by others, and may be labelled pejoratively.GENDER or SEX ROLE BEHAVIOUR: refers to what people's behaviours are actually like. We feel it is an inadequate description since it does not, on the face of it, account for physical characteristics such as, for instance, broad shoulders on a woman.GENDER or SEX ROLE The socially determined model which contains the cultural beliefs about what the gender roles should be. It differs from gender role in that it tends to be the way people feel 'others' should behave.Sex typing refers to the differential treatment of people according to their biological sex.
Anyone who is already part of this gendered movement, people who are interested in joining or courious to learn more, and people who have never thought about gender outside of male and female.
Genderfuck is a gender performance which "fucks with" or plays with traditional gender identities, gender roles, and gender presentation, and often also with sexism and anti-gay bias. It is also defined as a relationship with gender, making love to gender and its performance.As opposed to gender queer or transgender presentation, genderfuck is generally an intentional attempt to present a confusing gender identity which contributes to dismantling the perception of a gender binary.
