In the West, the organization of Social equality is characterized by the existence of two social equality, supposedly dictated by a kind of equivalence between essentialist biology, identity and the organization of society.
The binary consists of collection of its kind (personal and social) by sex. This mode is a system of historical mediations, sociocultural and political, not a state of nature.
Gender identity given at birth (boy or girl) and entered in the intergenerational transmission makes gender identity gender biosociologique (equivalent male-male-and female-female masculinity-femininity).
Anchoring based not on biology but on the transmission of identity. It is the subordination of this transmission recorded as single event to an anchorage naturalizing.
Gender (masculinity / femininity) based on the subordination of living standards and status within society according to a binary gerrymandering of both sexes in the social equivalent experience / standards-status. This kind of naturalistic fiction coinciding sex was strongly criticized, but does not seem out of the rut of essentialism. Essentialism which is derived directly from the binary model dominated by the patriarchal, heterosexual male. After the female gender, and on this basis, the West has created a transsexual as a mode of transition in order to save a binary model challenged everywhere. The department of psychiatry will be appointed to do this in order to regulate this is considered new, specific to the West.
Model doubling of both sexes is a fiction almost religious belief in a causal and linear identity that is constructed from / to the biological birth. The transmission of gender identity at birth (a boy, it's a girl) is erased in this mode naturalist.
The political model of the binary, far from being a founding model is a fiction designed to naturalizing mix all components of society While a human undivided indivisible, linear and causal. The man and the woman follows from the prodigious historical constructionism has continued to mutate throughout the centuries.
This model is also strengthened in the close political and ideological naturalness heterosexual field organization of society, including institutions. In the first place, family and heterosexual marriage. Heterosexuality in this new drama is composed of a standard office and institutional component called traditional society. The establishment of model "family" has undergone significant change in the "extended family" for the "nuclear family" and today all the reconfigurations of the stepfamily, single parent, gay or lesbian parents, family of 3 adults (or more), family with internationally adopted children, etc..
In these mutations, it appears that inequality and social asymmetry between the sexes (male and female) will be deported with modernity on the emergence of homosexuality and for a tiny fraction of the bisexuality.
