<p><strong>Inve(r/n/s/)t Your Gender Competition</strong></p>
<p>Non-Commercial House is still here and now announces its Big Gender Designer Competition.</p>
<p>Non-Commercial House is a free shop where people can browse amongst and<strong> </strong>try different objects and cloths. Do you feel intimidated because in commercial spaces shop assistants assume a certain kind of body type has to result in a certain kind of choice of cloths and accessories? Do you get harassed because you think beard and skirt, tits and tie, wrinkles and vivid colors, folds of fat and tight cloths are all right? Then come to Non-Commercial House which is a safe space to try out different cloths and accessories for all body types. To encourage experimentation, we are organizing our unique competition with big prizes, and a special panel of celebrities. The three possible stages of the competition are:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Invert Your Gender</strong>: Are you a strict social determinist? Don't you believe in pure free will? Then don't design, just invert your existing gender by using one or more objects from <strong> </strong></p>
<p>the free shop.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Invent Your Gender</strong>: Are you a fan of free will? In that case design your entire new and individual gender from the stock of the free shop.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Invest Your Gender</strong>: In your chosen form explain to the special panel what are the usual acts and habits, attitudes and manners which can be associated to your gender.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>Neither of the stages is compulsory. You can choose to be just part of the audience, or you can take part in any of the stages of the competition. You are encouraged to bring with you any kind of cloths or accessories.</p>
<p>Members of the Panel:</p>
<p>T.E. - Alien, Member of the Intergalactical Academy, President of the Understanding Earth Board</p>
<p>Philip Saunders – Familiar, Solicitor, Chief-Evictor of the City of London</p>
