Préciado via Wark: “Gender isn’t just performative at the level of gesture and language, but also via a kind of biomimicry or biodrag.

There is no natural sex; no Platonic ideal beneath the performance. Wark: “The innovation of Préciado’s work is to insist so thoroughly that all of sex, gender and identity are on the same level, all produced industrially, and by the same means.”pic.twitter.com/zSztxCBmbT
