It continues on to say that the jurisdiction of the case was influenced by opinion, which did not involve any legalities.

This morning’s press conference about the new founds dedicated to the Parks and Recreation Department, was held to answer questions about the money and whether or not it was given under false pretenses.

Perhaps one of the most fascinating yet depressing studies on gender, its fluidity, and how oppressive it can be is the case of David Reimer. In Chapter 3 of "Undoing Gender" by Judith Butler, this situation was studied in detail and psychoanalyzed. When Reimer was extremely young (under a year old), his penis was damaged and had to be removed, so psychiatrist John Money stepped in and told Reimer's parents that they could have sex reassignment surgery, raise David as a girl, and he'd live a normal and happy life. David was thus renamed Brenda and was brought up as female. Around age eight, however, Brenda started exhibiting traditionally masculine behaviors such as wanting to play with trucks and toy guns.

Those two categories have a particular anatomy. If someone doesn’t fit one or the other, then surgeons normalize them. This idea is too simplistic. Sex is more complicated than that. Dreger argues that nature doesn’t draw

This essay argues that the gendered performance of the characters is due to Linda Nicholson’s biological foundationalism as explored in Interpreting Gender (1999). The differences in reactions between the men and women of the story are not

Throughout this paper you will read about these three topics, marriage, general roles, and sexual orientation. Overtime, society values and norms have been evolved. Things through the early 1900s until now have changed. People now at a really young age live with their partner before getting married because some are afraid to take the big step off getting married. For example young teenagers attempt to live with their girlfriend or boyfriend at a young age before marriage.

An incident where pleading insanity worked in one’s favor is heard in the case of Lee Robin. Lee Robin was a 30-year-old doctor who was charged with murder of his wife and his two year old daughter. Robin admitted to killing his wife with an ax and drowning his infant daughter. After the murders, Robin called the police and reported that there was “a problem” at his home. Soon after, the police arrived.

“A sex category is achieved through application of the sex criteria, but in everyday life, categorization is established and sustained by the socially required identificatory displays that proclaim one’s membership

In fact, the sex/gender binary did not always exist, but was constructed by settlers forcing their own views onto the native peoples already formulated perspectives. In the early aboriginal traditions, gender was seen as something to explore. Many native tribes had a wide range of gender classifications, and variations that held different levels of power. An atypical category did not exist. Gender “was not primarily defined by physiology, but rather through the types of work done and other social activities, and there was not always a direct link between ‘biological’ sex, gender, and sexual activity.”

Hannah Fagioli Gender in Our Genes In Lorber’s “Night to His Day”, the main concept is how gender is socially constructed, meaning the components associated with each gender are framed by society from the moment a person is born. These components can be similar or different among men and women and can range from the clothes they wear, to how they talk, to the names they are assigned by parents, to the types of occupations they may pursue in the future, to even the way they walk (Lorber 14). To demonstrate these components surrounding gender, I am going to use examples from the movie, The Seven Year Itch, starring Marilyn Monroe as “the girl” and Tom Ewell as Richard Sherman. An examination of this classic 1955 film will show how ideas about

1); as well as aspects of categorizing concepts with reference to factors in social psychology. For example, the article titled, ‘Prototype Theory: An Alternative Concept Theory for Categorizing Sex and Gender?’ seek to explore the prototype theory to determine whether it captures the fluidity of gender and is able to accommodate transgender and queer identities. The article clearly defined the features of the category labelled ‘woman’ on the basis of sex and gender and applied the prototype theory to these concepts as it relates to the hierarchal levels of categorization. According to Fox (2011), utilizing the prototype theory as a theoretical framework for the concepts of sex and gender provides structural flexibility and inclusiveness (Fox, 2011).
