Abstract

En el debate existente sobre las categorías genéricas establecidas, la creencia en las dicotomías sexuales binarias ha quedado obsoleta, puesto que la clasificación de una persona de forma exclusiva de acuerdo a un género masculino o femenino es insatisfactoria para la construcción de su identidad. Por consiguiente, resulta de especial relevancia considerar el pensamiento teórico de Judith Butler, quien ya apuntó en Gender Trouble que: Inasmuch as ‘identity’ is assured through the stabilizing concepts of sex, gender, and sexuality, the very notion of ‘the person’ is called into question by the cultural emergence of those ‘incoherent’ or ‘discontinuous’ gendered beings who appear to be persons but who fail to conform to the gendered norms of cultural intelligibility by which persons are defined.
