Full description

Vera Gheno and Mckenzie Wark in conversation.  Moderated by Chiara Bottici
 
Gender is embedded deep in language, even in languages such as English which do not assign a gender to all the things it names. While it might not be the top priority of trans, intersex and gender diverse people, changing language matters if we are to be included in the situations it describes and manages. That even the smallest modifications to language usage attracts derision and anger points to the stubborn persistence of both linguistic and gendered norms, and their connection.
