As a gentleman, do you think this quote is accurate? What are your initial thoughts?
—
I think we won’t be able to understand the operations of trans-phobia, homophobia, if we don’t understand how certain kinds of links are forged between gender and sexuality in the minds of those who want masculinity to be absolutely separate from femininity and heterosexuality to be absolutely separate from homosexuality. Judith Butler
- How do you think understanding the links between gender and sexuality will help us better understand those who may have tendencies toward phobias about gender?
- Do you think masculinity is absolutely separate from femininity and heterosexuality is absolutely separate from homosexuality?
- If you do not think they are absolutely separate, has your view of this changed over time? If your view has changed over time, what made your view change?
