2 Why we use the term “gender”(I)
Gender is less determined by nature than it is by culture. Mary Jehlen claims that traditional critics wish to reduce the complexities of sexuality to a false common denominator. Sex(生理性別) Male(男) Female(女) Gender(社會性別) Masculine(陽剛特質) Feminine(陰柔特質) Sexuality(性慾取向) Heterosexual(異性戀) Homosexual(同性戀)

3 Why we use the term “gender”(II)
David Richter notes that the rules have little to do with nature and everything to do with culture. Many theorists point out that normal sexually depends upon when and one lives Gender is a construct, “an effect of language, a culture, and its institutions Teresa de Laurestis has described the “technologies of gender “, such as cinema. In Periclean Athens

4 中文的性／別研究 性別並非簡單的兩性，而是還有其他可能。斜線畫出了其間曖昧複雜與分裂不穩定的可能，「性／別」因此也指涉了「性別」本身內部的多元流動，特別是「跨性別」。 「性別」與「性」在這個名稱中合成一體，以表達「性別」與「性」的複雜關連，但是斜線也指出了兩者不可化約為一。 斜線同時表達了「性」中有「別」（差異）的概念，指出「性」的多元異質和內部差異，並且還有壓迫宰制關係。 「別」就是差異，因此「性／別」也表達性與其他「社會差異」（階級、種族、年齡等）的複雜關連。 （取用自中央大學性 ／別研究室）

11 Queer and Queer Theory in 1990s
Queer: a common term use in the racial way of critiquing stigmatization, choosing the derogatory name and transforming it into a slogan with pride. （將汙名的詞彙轉換成一種愉悅的驕傲） Queer Theory in particular has been involved in the so called culture wars in academia, as such postmodern concepts as gender ambivalence, ambiguity, and multiplicity of identity have replace the more clearly defined sexual values of earlier generations Queer rejects the conventions of Western sexual mores, instead, the queer celebrates desire.
