Summary
In this chapter I consider how dangerous and disturbing the term “gender” has become in the minds of those who fear its power and influence (Gallo, 2017). The stated concern about “gender” as a foreign term, an English term, acting on local or national cultures as if it were a foreign element or, indeed, a foreign power is matched by a presumption within feminist and LGBTIQ theory that “gender” can function as a generalizable concept no matter the language into which it enters.
