Judith Butler in Unmaking gender, states ?If a sperm and an egg are needed for reproduction (it still is) ? and in that sense, the sexual difference makes an essential part of any explanation that a human being can appeal to claim its origin- Can it be assumed that this difference shapes an individual deeper than other social constructive forces, such as the economic or racial conditions though which one gets to be; the situation of adoption itself; being settle at an orphanage? That much comes from the original sexual difference? (2004: 26).The discussion about sexuality, the body and the desire has taken a central place at the feminist debates for several decades. At first, dismantling the biologists argumentations on the body and sexuality; then, incorporating desire and fantasy to modify the way of thinking the mandatory heterosexuality; and in the forth coming times, the idea of the social transformation from the debate of the bodies allowed and the livable existence.
