A discussion of the idea of gender as “performative” and learned, not biologically engrained. How does this relate to the Zunis and We’wha? Are Zuni ways of reflecting upon gender as described by Roscoe a better match for Butler’s theory than what is often taken as “common sense” biological differences between men and women in mainstream American society? Does Butler’s article change your thoughts about referring to We’wha and other berdaches as “gay”?
