Gender Identity: Why All the Confusion? confusion identity

Deep confusion about sexual identity is a seeming cornerstone of contemporary society, plaguing not only our institutions and laws, but, sadly, the lived experiences of many. But according to Abigail Favalea deeper linguistic confusion undergirds much of our inability to make sense of who we are in a way that fully integrates all the factors, including our bodies. Favale, an associate professor of English and the dean of the College of Humanities at George Fox University in Oregon, argues that a potent combination of widespread oral contraception and social theory gave click to a concept of gender — that is, the socially conditioned roles men and women play — divorced from embodiment.

As a former postmodern feminist who converted to Catholicism, a compelling spiritual odyssey detailed in her memoir Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic ConversionConfusion identity is in a unique position to provide helpful analysis. Favale recently spoke confusion identity the Register at length. I was struck by how you link the demise of sex — that is, an understanding of our sexual confusion identity as rooted in our bodies and procreative potentiality — to widespread oral contraception.

You pointed out that the rise of this technological factor actually allowed social theories of gender that were divorced from our sexed bodies to become more influential in confusion identity. Well, then it becomes things like secondary sex characteristics [things like facial hair, the development of breasts, deepness of voice].

And so I think — and you see this, right? But they never actually talk about gametes. They never talk about the capacity to gestate or, you know, to produce sperm. So the unifying purpose of those secondary sex characteristics has been kind of forgotten or neglected. And confusion identity now sex is just about those secondary characteristics. So, the logic goes, you can change sex.
