Gender isn’t based on sex, sex is based on gender.
Bodies do not carry meaning or value in themselves. Sex is gender read onto bodies. Sex is an aspect of gender, a way of inscribing gender—a hierarchal social system—into our very flesh and of reifying gender via the rhetoric of essential, “natural” difference.
