Gay and Lesbian study reader

This reading was very informative for the comparisons of language, sex, gender, writing, and sexuality.  In class we briefly discussed this article and I haven't had much time to read it.  Now after the project one is done I have a few quotes which moved me in this piece.
"Drag is not the putting on a gender that belongs properly to some other group, i.e. an act of expriotation or apprioatation that assumes that gender is the rightful property of sex, that "masculine"
and feminine belongs to "female."  There is no "proper" gender, a gender proper to one sex rather than another, which is in some sense sex's cultural property. Where that notion of the "proper" operates, it is always and only improperly installed as the effect of a compulsory system.  Drag constitutes the mundane way in which genders are approtiated, theatrilized, worn and done."  I think this phrase means there is a set way that masculinity should only affect men and femininity in women which ultimately barriers the way we live.  If someone were to live outside of those norms then they are viewed down upon.
