Gender in Spargo Video
1. What does Spargo mean by "sex is always political?" Think through the statement with an example that resonates for you.
2. Discuss the link between sexuality and religion - as per the video, or in your own life (referencing the video)
3. Butler's idea of performativity deconstructs the naturalizing of gender, although gender scripts are still seen as strong influences. What does this imply for trans issues or gender in your own life?
4. How would you define queer theory or queer studies? What possibilities open up by challenging the norm?
