“The gender binary is culturally specific and—like the sexuality binary—related to the settler-colonial, imperialist project of categorizing different groups of people and bodies as superior or inferior to each other. It’s also rooted in a capitalist system which required femininity to be “opposite” to masculinity in various ways in order to justify women’s unpaid labour within the home: caring for the current workforce and raising the next one, or—particularly in the case of women of color—serving other people’s families in these ways.”
