Editing Point of Beginning Mx. Science (section)

=The Liminal Scientist=

Mx. Science defies normative categorization and conventional performances of cis-gendered or professional presentation, nor is Mx. Science determinately human (blue-skinned, pink-furred and horned). Some elements of Mx. Science's appearance, nevertheless, mark them as an "insider" to the sciences (wearing a laboratory-coat, and safety glasses, referring to sciences that conduct laboratory experiments, or as an anthropologist or geographer, wearing various lenses and recording devices like a clipboard for notes). 

These marks, in combination with the observations that I am wearing a "costume" or "mask" make it impossible to fully externalize Mx. Science as fully "other" to scientists in the room.
By presenting a liminal figure of "the scientist", it becomes possible to query science and scientists themselves as a phenomenon that includes boundaries and properties. This in turn makes it possible to explore all the im/possible ways of being "different" within such a phenomena.
