SUMMARY :
Abstract: Gender and expressions
of gender are generally being diversified.
The professional and lay world is slowly qualifying their concepts of gender
and their offers to those in gender anguish. Increased gender diversity has references both to gender identity, to bodily issues
and to gendered expressions as such.
But there is still a chasm between professional and queer understandings
of gender. This chasm is however,
being filled by trans- bi gendered
androgynous professionals.
The lay world is to an increasing degree accepting unusual gender expressions.
There are nevertheless important shortcomings within those words
and concepts that are being used
to describe phenomena in Gender land.
We need to look closer for possible expiration dates on concepts within the realm
of gender, and perhaps we need
new inspiration dates for apt descriptions.
