The Social Definition of Body and How it
Shapes “ Maleness, Femaleness,
Queerness, Tiboness and Badingness.”

Social Definition of Body

It is used in performance, narration,

embodiment and the interpretation of
expressions. Also serves as a trace of
culture. Some sociologists believe that the
body serves as a significant instrument,
which defines personhood and society.
(Waskul & Vannini, 2005)

What is Maleness?

boy, or the fact of being the sex that
fertilizes eggs, and does not
produce babies or eggs itself.
(Cambridge Dictionary)

● The properties characteristic of the

male sex. (Vocabulary.com)

● The fact of belonging to the sex that

does not give birth to babies.

● The fact of having the qualities or

appearance considered to be typical
of men.

What is Femaleness?

● The fact or quality of being female.

(Cambridge Dictionary)

● The properties characteristics of the

female sex. (Vocabulary.com)

● The qualities (as of form,

physiology, or behavior) that
distinguish an individual that
produces large usually immobile
gametes from one that produces
spermatozoa or spermatozoids.
(Merriam Webster)

What is Queerness?

● A sexual attraction to persons of the

same sex.

● The quality of having or showing a

sexual identity or gender identity
that is different from traditional
ideas about sex and gender, for
example, if somebody is non-

What is Gayness or Badingness?

GAYNESS

● The state of being sexually attracted

to people of the same sex and not to
people of the opposite sex.

same sex.

BADINGNESS

● Bading is a Tagalog word that

denotes the Filipino practice of
male cross- dressing, denoting a
man that has “feminine”
mannerisms, dresses as a sexy
woman, or identifies as a woman.

● It is an identity built on
performative cultural practice more
so than sexuality. Often considered
a Filipino third gender. Bading can
be either homosexual or
heterosexual, and are regarded as
one of the most visible LGBTQIA+
cultures in Asia.

GAYNESS

● Gay characters are shown to

possess redeeming values such as
their unconditional love for their
families, their generous spirit, the
same gay characters are still
arguably “othered”

● Baytan (2008) said that the “

limited notion of gayness is
symptomatic of the dominant
hegemonic cultures continous
attempts to fossilize the bakla or
gay identity.
What is Lesbianness or Tiboness?

LESBIANNESS

● Quality of being lesbian.

● Synonym for “Homosexuality” but

just for women.

TIBONESS
