Binary gender (definition of the society)

Published on 24 November 2008

By binary gender, one intends the expression of sexual identity according to society’s expectations. Human beings would indeed tend to have grown into the habit of generalizing and stereotyping. One of these prejudices could be the male/female binary gender: some kind of self-concretizing prophecy imposed on us since early childhood and deemed an integral part of ourselves. "You will be a girl". "You will be a boy".
