    Gender Identity In The Argonauts By Maggie Nelson

    Identity within Western society is influentially determined by the binary categorization of heterosexuality.

The heterosexual language excludes all other forms of expression through the biological views of a male and female-only culture. In the novel, The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson, the concept of discourse is interpreted as a foundation for individuals to construct and perceive gender identities and stereotypes.…
