Yes that would have been helpful, sorry! Here are some more:
“... that gender is a choice, or that gender is a role, or that gender is a construction that one puts on, as one puts on clothes in the morning, that there is a 'one' who is prior to this gender, a one who goes to the wardrobe of gender and decides with deliberation which gender it will be today.”
“...gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original"
