Greetings, Please read the attached articles and answer the questions below in short answer form. You should demonstrate a serious engagement with the text(s), all claims you make should be fully and completely explained, and claims about what the text says should be backed with quotations and/or evidence from the text. Be sure to provide enough reference information in your post so that it could be found by page/quotation/etc. The name of the author and a page number should be enough. If you refer to any materials outside of the course, provide full reference information so that we could find the item, though, again, that information need not be in a formal citation format. Please see the example below. Tremain (2001) says that both “natural sex” and “natural impairment” are historical artifacts from what she calls the “regime of knowledge/power” (p.623). Tremain (2001) gives the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary as evidenced, because in it there is no entry for “gender” that describes it as a counterpart to “sex” (p.623). In addition, Tremain (2001) also brings in the issue of intersex, which was what introduced the term “gender” to mean the psycho-social aspects of sex identity (p.623). Tremain (2001) discusses the sex-gender paradigm, and says everybody has a gender identity that is detached from their sex (p.624). Tremain (2001) makes a connection between the distinction of sex/gender to the distinction of impairment/disability in the social model of disability. As an example, Tremain (2001) discusses intersexed people who undergo “corrective” surgery, but do not qualify as disabled (p.630). The author also says that even though impairment is a prerequisite of disability, not all persons with impairments are disabled and that disabling factors are placed upon people with impairments which disadvantages them. Therefore, Tremain (2001) claims that the strict division between impairment and disability in the social model “is in fact a chimera” (p.631). Furthermore, the author says that the field of disability studies and the disability movement will have to contend with the growing paradox of contemporary identity politics (p.635). In closing, Tremain (2001) argues that people with disabilities need to unite and change their language and focus from defining “who” is disabled, to verbalizing “what” it is we are demanding and what it is we want (p.635). Tremain (2001) sides with Foucault in that the problem is centered around how “to liberate ourselves both from the state and the type of individualization that is linked to the state” (p.635).
