Gender

Dorothy Allison once said," Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excuvated from the inside." This means that there should be no categories for human beings. We should not have to deal with making ourselves something we are not. People do not have the right to destroy our wealth of ourselves by putting names to who we are. This statement is true because it shows that because of those categories, we as people get labeled for things we can not help being. It is very troublesome to be told to act a certain way or when to talk or not just because of who we are or what our race is. This can clearly be seen in the book written by Margot Livesy called The Flight Of Gemma Hardy. In Margot Livesy's novel, readers can see that Gemma has many different choices to make such as; going to a private school only for girls, getting married at a young age, and finding out what her real life was like.
