judith butler: sex being social is probably one of the most important concepts in my writing
apparently almost everyone who claims to draw from judith butler: yeah so there is a sex/gender distintion and gender is social and fake and a performance and sex is biological and real and unchangeable
(authors note: judith butler explicitly points out performativity =/= performance)
Feb 4, 2026 23:29the funniest part of this is when people try to synthesize it with forms of sex-class theory but anglosphere feminist works popular among the masses today seem to completely avoid psychoanalytic-feminist discourses so that's how you get mysticism like "male/female socialization is bound to bio sex"
"women sometimes desire things that harm them. the only way to fix this is get them to think really hard about it and fight over choice lifestyles" <-- people who would feel deeply unsettled upon reading juliet mitchell or jacqueline rose or the andrea long chu / amia srinivasan discourses
