Research Question(s)

As a result of the nature of the proposed methodology of my proposed study, I will be addressing two research questions simultaneously.

Q1:

Are parts of the “Natural Attitude” towards “normally sexed persons” still the same today as it was when it was described by Harold Garfinkel, namely that society is populated by two and only two sexes (1967: 122)?

Q2:

What facial cues might members of a society use to create the social fact of an interactional partner’s gender?
