Shi: just e-mail her something with heteronormative content and watch the good times roll
Me:
Shi: ah, hetero-normativity, gender binary, dialectic, socio-cultural metanarrative. i think for someone like me i have a pretty good linguistic command of leftist
Me: ah, but do you understand how transidentification reinforces the normativity of the gender binary?
Me: (it does actually)
Shi: indeed i do understand. when one transidentifies, they are actually adhering to rather then dissenting against gender norms. by choosing the opposite gender as a role, they give support to the idea of an inherent gender role, and in fact reinforce the stereotypical societal role of said gender by living out said role
Shi: thus, a male transidentifying as a female acts as to resist the feminist movement to liberate women from the traditional opressed role in the patriarchal system by acting out said traits associated with the traditional partriarchal idea of a female- thus exemplifying the idea that in order to be a womyn you must act in ways that reinforce the inferior role of womyn in society
Shi: BOOYAH!
Me: O.O
Me: wow
Me: most impressive
Shi: i'm good
Me: you are
Gays are really lucky to have this kind of vocabulary to sling around. I wish the hegemonic heteronormative meta-narrative had a range of connotation as rich
