From the Paper:

"The binary conception of gender is well understood by just about everyone, even if only on an unconscious and implicit level. Academics of varying disciplines routinely take the matter much farther than the general population, but nevertheless binary male/female is a well-known aspect of everyday life permeating throughout the all parts of life. The purpose of this brief essay is not only to examine how this binary relationship has been constructed (and hence understood by academics) but also how that construction has specific and demonstrable effects on gender equity for ordinary people, specifically in the workplace."
