Do we enact gender alone or together? Gender in one aspect, highly individual. Feminist and trans* activism has made respecting the autonomy of one’s gender a key political act. Under this paradigm, we each present gender based on how we intuitively feel about ourselves and express those feelings outward through clothing, gesture, voice, etc. But gender is also incredibly social. We don’t invent gender spontaneously, but rather rehash it through codes that are given to us. Our set of gender intelligibility is limited by the citations of previous gender norms and how we interpret them. To what extent, then, is gender something we have, something we are, or something we do? How do we contend with the “forcible citation of the norm” (Butler 1993), as something that both breaks us and makes us?
