Gender Aptitude

The gender aptitude test allows people to see that way that they see gender in society. A lot of what Kate talks about is separating gender and sex and not letting yourself be defined by the gender that you are. Kate Bornstein does not identify herself with either male or female; she chooses to be a mixture of both.
The test allowed me to see like the readings that it is very hard to have a clear understanding of what gender really defines in society. It is another way to put people into categories. Kate Bornstein compares the way that gender defines us and puts us into society as a pyramid. I think that this is a very accurate way of describing it but still leaves areas where some people wouldn’t fit in.
Overall I think that Kate Bornstein’s point of how gender further puts us into categories came across very well. The gender aptitude test also allowed me to see how I heavily rely on gender to categorize people.
