Considering how strongly the regionhas embraced Islam since the 14th century, it is rather mind-blowing thatsyncretised ideas of an earth-based goddess are still referred to in the Mala

state, Gomez willfiilly and defiantly performs her pretty, witty; and gay self in publicH er performance permits the spectator, often a queer who has been locked out ofthe halls of representation or rendered a static caricature there, to imagine a worldwhere queer lives, politics, and possibilities are representable in their com plaity.The importance of such public and semipublic enactments of the hybrid self cannotbe underval^d in relation to the formation of counterpublics that contest the hegemonic supremacy of the majoritarian public sphere. Spectacles such as those thatGomez presents offer che ^rninoricarian subject a space to situate itself in history andthus seize social agency.I
This reminds me of a stand up by dave chapelle. To provide context, he is a comedian who is notorious for making jokes regarding trans people. This of course made him rather controversial but then he brings up another comedian who was actually trans and he defended him in a unique way. similar how people would crack lighthearted jokes about disabilities which has an effect of making us more comfortable around people with disabilities. is it not the case that when we are comfortable to make lighthearted jokes about gender minorities, we are making ourselves more comfortable with the idea?

If the body is not a “being,” but a variable boundary, a surface whosepermeability is politically regulated, a signifying practice within a cul-tural field of gender hierarchy and compulsory heterosexuality, thenwhat language is left for understanding this corporeal enactment, gen-der, that constitutes its “interior” signification on its surface? Sartrewould perhaps have called this act “a style of being,” Foucault, “a stylis-tics of existence.”
From my understanding, the author the body itself does not determine the gender of a person but rather a variable. Such a variable that changes based different things including politic as well as culture. some culture only allows heterosexuality therefore other genders are left to be explored.

but little by little boys are the ones who aredenied kisses and caresses; the little girl continues to be doted upon,she is allowed to hide behind her mother’s skirts,
The first thought that came to mind was that there has to be cultural differences. The writer suggest that little girls appear privileged because they are given continued acts of affection such as continues kisses and being doted on. However, is this really the case across the board. Different cultures within different time periods view having girls as a burden instead of blessings.it is well known that in different cultures families would opt to get rid of their daughters in favour of sons.
