But deconstruction is quite helpful.

As a kinky queerboi, I am profoundly aware of how sexual identities and desires are constructed, both in my life and the lives of the young queers I mentor.

If you want to know about the social construction of race, I will put you in touch with my husband.

The world of social relations and social power structures we move around in is contructed by people. And just as I think it useful for a physician to be able to deconstruct the human body when he is treating a patient, I think it is equally important for people who are hoping to change society for the better to understand how society is constructed. I have found that deconstruction is a useful tool in this endeavor.
