A lot of the problems we currently face on the issue of sexuality/gender expression directly are manufactured. The concept of gender was created (pushed by John Money and Alfred Kinsey) as a reaction to the breakdown of the distinctions of biological sex, or rather, the lack of any clear binary that could be drawn between male and female. In the face of the dissolution of the male/female biological divide, gender served as a shield for the historical understanding of human sexuality.
What an insightful piece! I'm interested to consider the narcissism of sexual identity, whether straight, gay, or anything else. I also appreciate the nuanced exploration of how cultural perceptions of masculinity and femininity have evolved over time, influenced by media and societal changes. Your discussion about the role of corporate media in shaping and often dividing public opinion is quite thought-provoking. Looking forward to reading more of "Ayahuasca, Wisconsin"!
