Gender Aptitude Test

Gender and sex have completely different meanings. Gender is an adjective and sex is a verb. Even though most all of us use the two interchangeably. One thing Kate was speaking about in the readings was that there are more than one form of gender. A man can be female, a man can be male, a woman can be male, or a woman can be female. She also noted that gender can change from moment to moment- sometimes you feel more masculine and sometimes you feel more feminine. I don't particularly agree with this perspective, and am one of the people she was speaking of that believes gender is assigned at birth and gender is essentially based on the genitalia, chromosomes, and hormones.
Kate is an author, playwright and performance artist. I cannot completely tell who "she" is within the gender spectrum- being referred to as "ze" and "hir". I wouldn't say I was surprised by the questions on the gender aptitude test. I was simply more unaware and confused on how to answer them. After doing the reading, those are the kinds of questions I was expecting to see. I didn't feel that what I wanted my answer to be was an option. It made me feel uncomfortable. But also in the same instant made me more aware of my surroundings and the fact that people think differently than I do.
