Summary
As the Ekumen ambassador to Earth, Therem Hart ir Estraven loathed to be perceived as a man. Yet he realized that being seen as one would get him taken more seriously by the Terrans and would facilitate his goal of convincing Earth to join Ekumen. At first he assumed that even his closest Terran collaborator, Genly Ai, expected him to perform masculinity. When Estraven attempts to teach Genly Ai mindspeak, this assumption is called into question.
