Abstract

Abstract Two decades ago, the difference between sex (as biological, natural, physical, real, actual, unrefined) and gender (as social, fictitious, refined, forced) was presumed to be clear and obvious for language and gender researchers. However, the distinction between the two was questioned and challenged most powerfully by Butler, who claims that sex “by definition has been gender all along” (1990:8) and that gender is a discursive practice unfolding in an ongoing interaction and, thus, open to intervention and re signification. An important aspect of Butler’s work is her claim that gender only exists in the service of heterosexism. Butler restructures gender as the performative effect of repeated acts, a cultural fiction, which can as such no longer privilege heterosexuality as the real or original sexuality at the expense of homosexuality (Jagose 1996). Ueno (1999:48) argues that one of queer theorists’ contributions is to demolish the distinction between heterosexuality as norm/origin and homosexuality as deviation/imitation. Jagose defines queer as follows.
