Understanding Gender

Synopsis In everyday life we are taught the gender and sexuality is biological. Such construction of the biological nature of gender and sexuality neglects the power relation involved in both. Once such power relations are brought to the forefront, the nature of “gender” and “sexuality” reveal themselves as cultural constructs. Power creates and normalizes a set of human gender and sexual behavior as “normal” thereby also crating another set as “deviant.” “Deviance” is thus produced via cultural underpinnings of power. Once we understand such power relations to form the core of sexuality and gender, we begin to see sexuality no longer as biological but as political. Such understanding of theory is finally the key to destroying oppressive structures and freeing both gender and sexuality from its biological prison.
