Document Summary
Girls, grisliness in femininity, young woman"s body kind of performativity. The way we live our lives as girls is feminized. Marnina gonick: the girl is socially constructed, not born a girl, you are made a girl or a boy. Performing certain kinds of behaviors, tasks, clothing, the way you move. She seeks the queer category the girls, she seeks to do something differently, instead of queer girls but to queer that category. More interpretation, variables, more diverse than something that is very direct. Challenge to what it means to be a girl. Structures and barriers are removed so things can be more dynamic and fluid. Queer category women so there is more fluidity. Seeing themselves as girls and see themselves in that particular frame, not only the girls who wear dresses, wear makeup. Cognitive dissonance: if you are a girl supposed to like opposite sex. Coming out is associated with names (lesbian, gay, intersex).
