Chapter 2 grapples with 1 Corinthians 11:1–16, one of the letter’s attempts to limit women’s prophetic speech in the community. Allusions to androgyny appear in a couple of places in this text, but most especially in strange references to head hair (11:5–6). This is just one vexed marker of gender variety and multiplicity, which can be reimagined with more recent figures of female masculinity like drag kings, butch lesbians, transgender dykes, or gender queers (especially as examined in transgender studies). Alternative practices of masculinity alter the perspective on prophetic females addressed by the arguments in the first letter to the Corinthians. Through the lenses of gendered performativity and female masculinity, these juxtapositions qualify and challenge Pauline prescriptions for the initiation and participation of women.
