Our everyday gender

Abstract

What is gender? Gender, genders, which, which, who, that thing, that, that? Does gender imply an identity? Is gender disordered in dysphoria, disease or disorder? Is it the social norm or the medical scalpel that accommodates the genders and sexualities in each body? We understand gender as a set of norms and power relations associated with a respective binary logic. We know that not all genders are reduced to two options (masculinity and femininity). We can also recognize that sexual options exceed the framework of the hetero and the homosexual, but this broadening of horizons does not occur in the same way in terms of legal recognition. Perhaps the productivity of the concept of gender is based, precisely, not on its closed static condition and its monochord coherence, but on the contrary on its prolific and contradictory multiplicity as an unstable concept of openness and dissemination. This article, filled with fragments and dissimilar quotes, deals with people, subjects, bodies, identities and trans and interex genders read as stigmas of abjection or unfinished forms of humanity in our context, and specifically we propose to preserve a question: What do you do with all this? Who do we effectively include and who do we leave out? Or, in other words, how do we include them and in what way do we do it, perhaps as objects of study, research and profitable analysis, or do we just manage to include them in the formality of the law?
