GENDER, A VARIABLE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEXUAL IDENTITY: CONTRIBUTIONS, PHANTOMS, EVOLUTION

Resumen

ABSTRACT
THIS PAPER ANALYZES THE DEBATES ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP OF SEX-GENDERSEXUALITIES FROM DIFFERENT DISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF MANY AUTHORS, FROM PRE-SOCRATICS TO R. J. STOLLER AND J. BUTLER. IT RETROSPECTIVELY STUDIES THE STAGES PRECEDING THE
EMERGENCE OF GENDER AS A CONSTRUCTION WITH A HIGH MONITORING OF THE SOCIAL NORMS THAT ENCODE BEHAVIORS SO-CALLED “MALE” OR “FEMALE” ACCORDING TO THE ESTABLISHED ORDER: WHOEVER CONTRAVENES THIS DOGMA IS OUT OF THE NORM, ABNORMAL; AND THE GHOSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE BEHAVIORS. IT CONCLUDES THAT GENDER IS A VARIABLE IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF SEXUAL IDENTITY. WHATEVER THE GENDER, IT IS INFLUENCED BY
FAMILY AND SOCIETY, AND ALL THAT IS DIFFERENT LEADS TO EXCLUSION AND SECLUSION. THE CONSTRUCTION OF GENDER TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE COMPLEXITY OF SEXUAL IDENTITY, I.E., THE FUNDAMENTAL DISCONTINUITY AMONG BIOLOGICAL SEX, SOCIAL GENDER, SEXUALITY AND DESIRE.
KEY WORDS: SEX, GENDER, SEXUALITY, SEXUAL IDENTITY
