I'm reading Kate Bornstein's My New Gender Workbook for Transgender Politics class. One of the exercises therein is "Ask three different people how they would define for themselves the five components listed above. How do their answers compare to (a) your perception of each person and (b) your own answers to those questions as they apply to you?"
The five components are "gender assignment", "gender role", "gender identity", "gender expression", "gender attribution".
I r too lazy to pick out three people to bug about this. So: lazywebs! Without looking at the comments, anybody who wants to, please define those five terms for me in the comments! First comment is going to be me defining them for myself, for the record.
ETA: Fascinating comparing people's responses. Thank you all!
