Frames can break out, but they're also important!

This article will explore the meaning of the framework.

Break out of the frame

The frame needs to be broken. There are many unnecessary frames in this society, for example: "gender". This example has received particular attention in recent years. Gender can refer to the temperament that distinguishes males from females, or it can refer to biological males and females. In the past, dichotomies or gender dualisms were used to distinguish whether you were a boy or a girl, either male or female. That's the frame that should be broken, no longer framed by dichotomies, and even though I know I'm biologically male or female, I still decide my gender.

You can be a woman with a male anatomy; you can also be a woman with a female anatomy, which means that whether your biological sex is male or female has nothing to do with what you think it is. Of course, your gender identity is likely to be affected by your biological gender, but it's still not "I'm male/female, so I should be a boy/girl" to make a distinction.

we need framework

From the example just now, we broke the unneeded framework, but you know, we still need the framework. We break gender binary, so calling ourselves non-binary, or my gender identity being non-sex, male, female, etc., needs other frameworks to support it. I am me because there are other people and you know that I am not like them, I am not them, so I am me; I am not binary, so I am non-binary, if there is no binary On this frame, we cannot find ourselves not within that frame.

Therefore, we need a frame, and without a frame, we can't know where we are. In the example just now, it may not be appropriate to say "breaking the frame", I think it would be better to call it "discovering a new frame" or "making a frame" because we found that "it turns out that in addition to gender dualism, there are other Binary gender theory has new possibilities; conversely, without the framework of "binary gender theory", we cannot create new frameworks

in conclusion

Humans need frameworks, and must constantly create new frameworks to replace old ones. But this is just current thinking, maybe we don't need frameworks at all, maybe it's better to get rid of all frameworks.
