In 1905 of the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan, the modern technique of the population census and medical knowledge caused the distinction of male/female to become definite. Moreover, the police system was the most important part to enforce the norms of distinction of male/female. After WWII, the system of registered residence and ID card ascertain everyone is male or female, and try to “correct” the hermaphrodite by surgery. econd, the norm of sex qualified between male and female in the heterosexual ideology. Before 1910s, the sex between female was denial by social and legal norms. After 1910s, the modern sexual science deemed the sex between same-sex is abnormal and need to be “cure”. Afterward, the blaming gays for AIDS surfaced in the early 1980s, but the only concern of sex between male made the sex between female was marginalized. Subsequently, sexual liberation and feminist movement affected the movement of lesbianism. hird, the norm of marriage/family prescribed heterosexual patriarchy to exclude same-sex couples.
