Article body

I've made a few minor additions to the content by linking some words and phrases to other existing Wikipedia pages - Alyssa (Man I love frogs)

In the LGBT Community

There are some people who have started rejecting the gender binary as a whole. Postgenderism is a term used to describe the social concept of rejecting gender, and the systems that control it in society. They subscribe to the idea that the dismantling of the gender binary would make a safe space for all expressions, and thus make society better as a whole.

Ball culture is an example of how the LGBT community interprets and rejects the gender binary. Paris is Burning, a film directed by Jennie Livingston, depicts New York's ballroom scene in the last 1980's. To compete in the Balls, men, women, and everyone in between create costumes and walk in their respective categories, some being Butch Queen, Transmute Realness, and Femme Queen. During the Balls, the gender binary is thrown out the window, and the people competing are allowed to express themselves however they interpret the category. Within the scenes of people competing in various categories there's a narrative that describes life outside the gender binary in New York. Since the film came out there's been a decline in the Ballroom scene do to the rise of media and the appropriation of the Drag culture (NYT article).

#DeGender Fashion

The hashtag movement to degender fashion was created by transfeminine writer and activist Alok Vaid-Menon, which seeks to separate clothing from cultural gender norms. [1] There are public figures that oppose the gender binary by wearing clothing not typically associated with their perceived gender, such as Prince, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Jaden Smith, Ruby Rose, Rain Dove, Billy Porter, and Harry Styles. [1][2][3] Harry Styles' appearance on the cover of American Vogue was the first instance a cisgender man doing so by himself.[4] This was lauded as both groundbreaking and controversial due to the fact that on the cover he wore both a dress, a clothing item associated with women, as well as a blazer, which is associated with men.[4][5] His embrace of clothing associated with women and men is a rejection of the gender binary.[5]

Earlier in this section the article describes social movements against the gender binary but doesn't go into specifics--I think this is a fairly well-known movement that is a prime example of people rejecting expectations of the gender binary.

A recent example in popular culture is Harry Style's Vogue cover shoot. A cisgender man wearing a dress (clothing coded as feminine) defies the gender norms set in place by the gender binary.

  • We could also talk about how this was received by the public (i.e. praise and criticism he received for this).

Outside of popular culture, we can mention Alok Vaid-Menon, an transfeminine poet and activist that does a lot of work in degendering fashion.

Disparities

Transgender individuals are at a greater risk of physical and sexual intimate partner violence than cisgender individuals.[6] The rates of intimate partner violence among transgender populations are referred to as “epidemic levels” and they are classified as a high risk population.[6] Discrimination against transgender individuals is believed by researchers to contribute to greater risk of intimate partner violence.[6] This is especially prominent in areas where gender identity is not legally protected against discrimination.[6]
