The Arbitrariness of Binaries
Darida says that these oppositions between things and others are arbitrary. He's not just talking about the arbitrariness of the sign in relation to the signified, but he's saying that it's kind of all arbitrary. There is no inherent reason why say man and woman would be opposites, we just create opposites. But that doesn't mean they're really, we would just kind of arbitrarily draw on these lines wherever we have. So when you talk about being non-binary, okay, this is darida,. That's just all darida, straight darida.
