Gayle Rubin distinguishes between sex and gender (1975); Judith Butler argues that sex is gender (1990: 6–13); and Kamala Visweswaran describes how various forms of hierarchy and discrimination shape gender performances (1997: 59–60), leading me to argue that identity is as much inscribed, through a complex interplay of social and biological forces, as it is performed.
