the incubator - coming soon

In Two weeks I will have my first solo show
and i cant help wishing that it was all over.
i know this is the wrong way to be thinking
about it all, but, right or wrong, its just
the way it is!

Is there ‘a’ gender which persons are said to have, or is it an essential attribute that a person is said to be, as implied in the question: ‘What gender are you?’

Judith Butler

Consider the Tomboy - independent, adventurous, outdoors, free - pertaining to elements of social surprise. Climbing trees and cutting up worms might be the sort of stuff a girl who wouldn’t be seen dead playing with dolls gets up to, but does this render her a Tomboy? Furthermore, what clues contribute to our impression of a girl who is a Tomboy, when not observed outdoors roughing it up and behaving akin to a ‘rambunctious boy’ – a Hoyden?[1]

Lesley Turnbull

[1] The concept of Tomboy made its debut during the mid-nineteenth century; it supplanted the English term, Hoyden. For more information regarding the etymology of Hoyden and Tomboy concept refer to Abate, A M, Tomboys: A Literary and Cultural History, Temple Press 2008, Philadelphia.
