This panel discussion explores why marketing and consumer behavior has struggled to move beyond the binary, the importance of disrupting the conventional binaries to recognize gender/sex/ual diversity, and the challenges in so doing. It raises to the fore concerns about institutional pressures, sanitization of work, academic positionalities, everyday encounters of discrimination against gender/sex/ual diversity, and the emancipatory but oppressive dynamics of categories. Yet the panelists also reflect on ways to challenge binaristic thinking. Just being in the academy and doing (small but) meaningful acts of institutional activism can produce ripple effects and open pathways for a better articulation of lived experiences and realities.

让性别跨越二元体系，并超越二元体系：与 Shona Bettany、Olimpia Burchiellaro 和 Rohan Venkatraman 的对话

本次小组讨论探讨了营销和消费者行为为何难以超越二元论、打破传统二元论以认识性别/性/性多样性的重要性，以及这样做的挑战。它凸显了对制度压力、工作净化、学术立场、日常遭遇的针对性别/性别/性多样性的歧视，以及类别的解放但压抑的动态的担忧。然而，小组成员也思考了挑战二元思维的方法。只要在学院里做一些（虽小但）有意义的机构行动，就能产生连锁反应，并为更好地表达生活经历和现实开辟道路。
