Chapter 4 Flashcards
marginalización
treat (a person, group, or concept) as insignificant or peripheral.
La teoría de la “otredad”
La teoría propone que los en poder tienden a objetivizar a los que se distinguen del mismo. Porque no se identifican con el “otro”, no siempre lo tratan bien. En el caso estudiado, se puede cristalizar el argumento de que la heteronormatividad hace que los LGBT son considerados como “otros” o “inferiores” cuando llega el momento de modificar las políticas.
orientación sexual
a person’s sexual identity in relation to the gender to which they are attracted; the fact of being heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual.
expresión de género
Gender expression, on the other hand, is what everyone around us can see.
Gender expression is the way in which you express your gender.
Sometimes these expressions go along with socially sanctioned ideas of what is appropriate. For example, we live in a society that deems dresses appropriate for women, but not for men. But sometimes they don’t.
You may identify as a woman and dress in a traditionally feminine way. You may identify as a woman and dress in a traditionally masculine way. The point is that the two aren’t necessarily related.
genderqueer/género no-binario
denoting or relating to a person who does not subscribe to conventional gender distinctions but identifies with neither, both, or a combination of male and female genders.
identidad de género
Gender identity is internal.
It is, quite simply, the gender with which you identify. It’s the word (or words) that you could use to decide yourself that simply make sense to you.
Gender identity is whether you’re the lady or the tramp (or neither). It’s the all-encompassing feelings you have about which gender(s) you are or are not. It’s what you would be perceived as if you were able to choose how everyone perceived you.
cisgénero (en comparación con trasgenero)
Cisgender is a word that applies to the vast majority of people, describing a person who is not transgender. If a doctor announces, “It’s a girl!” in the delivery room based on the child’s body and that baby grows up to identify as a woman, that person is cisgender. Similarly, a baby designated male in the delivery room who grows up to identify as a man is cisgender. This is the case for about 99% of the population
heteronormatividad
Heteronormativity is the belief that people fall into distinct and complementary genders (man and woman) with natural roles in life. It assumes that heterosexuality is the only sexual orientation or only norm, and states that sexual and marital relations are most (or only) fitting between people of opposite sexes
homofobia/transfobia
dislike of or prejudice against homosexual people.
