Someday, you will be teaching Race, Gender and Sexuality during the Spring semester. You will spend two weeks talking about the social construction of gender, and more importantly, the social construction of sex. You talk about how biology is flawed, how a two-sex system is a myth, how bodies themselves are never so simple as male or female. You will try to convince your students, at least if they won't agree, to at least think: think about the possibilities–think about what it would mean to deconstruct this system, to be free of it.
