Abstract

When thinking about gender expression, we tend to link it to gender identity. To think that just because someone identifies as male or female that person is going to dress in a certain way is just another form of a binarism, that demands filling gender stereotypes from decades ago. This piece tries to rethink this concepts, reflecting on the need to understand gender expression and gender identity from a critic perspective, and one that questions, first, the binary logics that goes through them, and also the fact that there is a dressing and looking demand towards people that don’t fit the male-female binary.
