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)
the 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"
