  • “When Simone de Beauvoir claims, ‘one is not born, but rather becomes a woman,” she is appropriating and reinterpreting the doctrine of constituting acts from the phenomenological tradition.”
  • “Further, gender is instituted through the stylisation of body and, hence, must be under-stood as the mundane way in which bodily gestures, movements, and enactments of various kinds constitute the illusion of an abiding gendered self.”
  • “Significantly, if gender is instituted through acts which are internally discontinuous,  then the appearance of substance is precisely that, a constructed identity, a performative accomplishment which the mundane social audience, including the actors themselves, come to believe and perform in the mode of belief.”
