In “Defeating Bigenderism: Changing Gender Assumptions in the Twenty-first Century”, Gilbert states the implications of a bigenderism society. Bigenderism is the view that there are strictly two genders; male and female and there are specific behaviours, presentations, interactions, and characteristics associated with each gender, where masculinity characteristics are valued over femininity characteristics. Thus, bigenderism creates sexism, transphobia, and homophobia in society. To overcome these problems, Gilbert argues that society should operate on a non-genderism model which is the view that there is no binary distinction between genders and no societal evaluation that makes masculinity more valuable over femininity.
