Document Summary
He made a great gay man for a little while except he liked women. Feminine male liked women now transgender lesbian. If you foreclose possibilities, you create the binary. Introducing more terms can allow for inclusiveness and self-acceptance and sense: man trapped in a woman"s body / woman trapped in a man"s body . The confession: catholic religious sacrament, sexual confession: medical/therapeutic realm. Technique and pleasure kama sutra (maximizing pleasure) The pleasure is pointing things out as pathological: how to make sex better! Power: the power to take away and the power to prevent, repressive power therapeutic, the ones that produce vs prevent. Being into it is erasing the history of being rewarded for being feminine pleasure in reward. Not as suspicious of those types of power. You can"t resist forms of power that you can"t even recognize!! Asks people to step back and see those things.
