In my journal, I've asked myself questions, written down dialogues I've grown up having and then tried to visualize what I think of gender identity.Its neither here nor there.
Visually, I am a woman, biologically I am,
But who decides on the behavioural front,
who defines what I am?
I think looking at differences in gender and how it leads to social situations of a violent nature, will get difficult, since the stand I take might be affected by the warped understanding I have of my gender identity.
But do I need that clarification about my gender ?
Couldn't it just exist without a name or a definition?
Aman, you're posing thought provoking questions. I wonder... how can our gender "warped" understandings of ourselves give us insights into the nature of gender violence?
