Cross-Gender Searches and Intersectionality

Hi Khadija, great Wiki page on a really important topic. In regard to your discussion of cross-gender searches, I found it interesting to consider the policies that govern such searches and how they may discriminate against individuals who are gender non-conforming. Perhaps this interaction between gender identity and indigeneity is another aspect of intersectionality that you may want to consider.

Best,

Hi Talia,

That's a very great point- gov't policies are still very binary and thus exclusive to non-gender conforming individuals. This intersection is very relevant to our class readings and how this rigid gender binary is also more of a Western construct. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'll be sure to try and tackle it in my edits.
