@FuguGoulash Does she "stop at gender"? That's just the frontier of critique she is celebrated for breaking into. But you're right about other predefined categories.
@FuguGoulash Quién se "detiene" allí? Acaso prefieres que todos hablemos de lo mismo: la categoría de clase? Por gente como tu existe gente como Butler. Estamos cansados de que se minimicen los esfuerzos teóricos de otros que necesitan libertad, en nombre de "las otras opresiones más importantes". Ocúpate de quienes nos oprimen, no de quienes denuncian las opresiones que a ti no te interesan. -PS. Go to Google Translate if you need it, or you rather "stop" here??
@cpthen007 I understood your Spanish without Google Translate, and that's not what I meant at all. I mainly made that comment because I was once looking for a theoretical book or article on how categories of "outcasts" in general are constructed and could not find one. The closest I could find was academic books about queer theory and racism. I did not say one form of oppression was more important than another or that queer theory does not interest me.
I know a lot of women who cried about having lost their boobs because of eating the macrobiotic way.They didn't like it at all! When you eat strictly macrobiotic, there's a chance of losing your "normal" female tits' size...
The gallery talks are important, because she says, among many other things, that she was hurt by accusations that she looked very masculine, that she "disincarnated women", that she was a "woman without womb". This makes me feel for her, as, despite her mannerisms, look, ideas and random search for identity, she seems very beautiful and feminine to me, with regard to her warmth and sensistivity and frailty...
The gallery talks are important, because she says, among many other things, that she was hurt by accusations that she looked very masculine, that she "disincarnated women", that she was a "woman without abdomen", which she considers untrue. This makes me feel for her as, despite all her mannerisms and ideas and search for identity and place, she seems to me to be very beautiful and feminine (as far as sensitivity, warmth, heart go).
- Any comments? Nothing has changed in Germany since then. You were wondering about the welcome you received, you know, the article in the press which said 'She has a masculine presence, maybe Italian.'
-Yes, I remember. This continued. And like I wrote on the notion of the body, everyone was expecting that I personnified my theory. But it wasn't the case. This is what hurt me. Barbara Duden said that I decorporated, desincarnated women.
- Am I a philosopher? In some ways yes, but not in the conventional meaning of it. Am I a feminist? there is no doubt about it. Am I a queer? I am this, I am that. The media have always chased me...
-You mean since 1993? Or after you won the Adorno Prize?

Well, no matter what she may whine about transgender she will always pass as a man, with a beard and no one will be able to tell the difference! Even the voice is very much male like. Otherwise it is bullshit: As this whole gender-role thing is basically religious, as the church had to ban us Celtic women from bearing weapons but it did not work as the English had to learn from the hands of valiant Jeanne; and if they do not stop speaking German at once I will slay them wit a bloody axe myself!
I enjoy how your defensive and embittered comments help support Judith Butler's beliefs on gender coercion. I hope others appreciate this irony as much as me.
@skaplan11: Jesus tried to pull that one: Saying that persecution and rejection would prove his teachings to be right; sorry it doesnt work this time as we see the creature preaching thus and it is like Nietzsche said about the first Christians: "Of course, if we saw them, even if only in passing, all these queer prigs and synthetic saints, that would be the end " - so your attempt will be of no avail...
its a pretty cute ass - kinda boyish if you ask me... as is the rest of her body -
but its her brain that's so very interesting - and provocative...
it always amazes me how the subject of gender can get us all riled up - me included - our reactions to gender-morphing, for e.g, go so much deeper than our reactions to sexual orientation. it seems that we can handle ambiguity when it comes to being gay or straight, but not when it comes to being male or female. we have got a ways to go it seems.

Why stop at gender? Society tries to place people into lots of other predefined categories that they might not exactly match with.

- She said you wrote like a woman with no womb.
- She made a monster out of me!Like a lot of people, I was interested in drag queens, transsexuals, people who played on sexual norms.

Anyway I think Butler is an interesting person representing a lesbian woman.
She is authentic for her form of sexuality and for a specific form of such an identity.
