Grosz's Möbius strip metaphor suggests that sex and gender are two sides of the same coin and are inseparable. The Möbius strip is a surface with only one side, indicating that sex and gender cannot be separated into two distinct entities. The metaphor highlights the entanglement of nature and culture in shaping our understanding of gender and sexuality. It underscores how the binary of male/female is a social construct that is intimately connected to our biological sex.
