Elucidations · Episode 106: R. A. Briggs discusses gender · 22 Jun 2018 podcast

George also has like

interesting discussions of sort of different things that can go under the gender category.

So we've got the sex gender distinction.

Also, you mentioned the idea that there are only two gender categories.

boys and girls, men and women.

And these days, there are people who sort of consider themselves neither or consider themselves to be fluidly moving between those gender categories.

And certainly there are people.

So I think another thing about the way people commonly think about gender is that you start off with one, and you get put in that category when you're a baby, and then you stay in it your whole life.

And there are lots of people who sort of move between gender categories.

So those are some complications to the picture that you gave me.

Yeah, so actually it gets used, and here again, I'm like appealing to VR Georgia's stuff a lot.

It gets used for a bunch of different things.

So there's the categories themselves.

So man and woman, which are social categories, and those are genders.

And I'll be talking more about those in a bit.

There's also expectations based on which category somebody is a member of.

So if you have somebody who's a member of the sort of boy social category, you might expect them to wear khaki colors and play with guns when they're a child.

which is kind of disturbing.

Let's move along.

So yeah, there's the categories, there's the expectations based on the categories.
