Categories:The history of all our notions of gender the very root of gender is sex: the commonly accepted idea that there is biological evidence of two and two only immutable sexes, and that this bio-binary determines the social order. Furthermore, the idea of two, and two only sexes is mirrored in, and championed by, virtually all of the world’s great religions. And that’s how it was for thousand as and thousands of years. It wasn’t until the early to mid nineteenth century that sex began what was to become a centuries long collision with gender, beginning with the early first wave feminists. They said No. No, I won’t be a woman the way you say I’ve got to be a woman. And from that point on, gender changed rapidly to the point where more and more people came to understand and embrace a more nuanced view of gender as a social construct that includes binary identified trans people, as well as the scientific fact that one may change from one sex to its opposite.
The moment of transition from the twentieth to twenty-first century saw and explosion of ideas about gender. Gender fluidity, nonbinary gender, agender, and other forms of gender nonconformity began to make their ways into mainstream consciousness, practice, and acceptance. And this is the evolution of gender to this day. Kate Bornstein points out that this evolution of gender is not linear. People who live in the universe of binary sex share the world with people who live in one of several universes that embrace some form of binary gender, all of whom share today’s world with people who are living in an exploding number of nonbinary and other nonconforming universes. And so there is a great deal of strife, and gender based suffering as these universes collide.
In this presentation, Kate unravels the tangle of the gender multiverse, and proposes a new theory of gender relativity in which the multiverse of gender might have a chance of a more accepting coexistence. The presentation is an hour long, followed by up to thirty minutes of Q and A.
