Absorbing her testosterone.”

“Al mismo tiempo, el colegio es la más brutal y fantoche de las escuelas de heterosexualidad. Aunque aparentemente asexual, el colegio potencia y fomenta el deseo heterosexual y la teatralización corporal y lingüística de los códigos de la heterosexualidad normativa. Estos podrían ser los nombres de algunas de las asignaturas troncales de todo colegio: Principios del machismo, Introducción a la violación, Taller práctico de homofobia y transfobia.”
