Abstract
Two decades ago, Adrienne Harris published "Gender as a Soft Assembly," a refreshing, far-reaching paper that intertwines both traditional and cutting-edge psychoanalytic gender theory with anecdotes from Harris's own life as a tomboy in the 1970s. In broadening staid models of development, "Gender as a Soft Assembly" provides the potential for freedom, fluidity, and creativity as an antidote to the rigid, binary constructions of masculinity and femininity. In response, I've summarized the most striking aspects of her paper that coincidentally commingle with my having been a tomboy and offer an opportunity for a reconsideration of my own history.
20年前，阿德里安娜·哈里斯(Adrienne Harris)发表了《作为软装配的性别》(Gender as a Soft Assembly)，这是一篇令人耳目一新的、影响深远的论文，将传统和前沿的精神分析性别理论与哈里斯自己在20世纪70年代作为假小子的生活中的轶事交织在一起。在拓宽僵化的发展模式的过程中，“性别作为一种软装配”提供了自由、流动性和创造力的潜力，作为一种解毒剂，以消除男性和女性气质的僵化、二元结构。作为回应，我总结了她的论文中最引人注目的方面，这些方面恰好与我曾经的假小子相结合，并提供了一个重新思考自己历史的机会。
