ABSTRACT
The author examines the social transformation of gendered life and the ways modern theory signifies the transformations as it seeks to undo the normative regulation of gender. In speaking of modern gender theory, He have in mind a congress of gender theorists, representing different states and constituents. Freud's construction has become a powerful part of the daily vernacular that narrates gender. Gender's stories are told within a variety of kinship systems, across a variety of parent, child relations, and on a variety of registers: social, symbolic, political, psychological, biological. Underscoring these decisions as well is the belief that the child's physical conformity will aid in the child's adaptation toward a heterosexual system of complementary social relations. He suggests that minority subject who can reflect on that force, who can redress that force with good-enough psychic equilibrium is a subject who may fare better as both a social and psychological being.
