Gender and sexuality belong to social markers that are most heavily influenced and also enforced by the affect of shame and the interpellation of subjects as shameful. Quentin Crisp's The Naked Civil Servant (1968) shows that discussions of shame and gender/sexuality are incomplete if they do not take into account strategies of “disinterpellation” (Sedgwick), which seek to undo the mechanisms of shame and shaming through displays of shamelessness.
