I confess I had never read Judith Butler before and man, that's grim. She acknowledges that 'gender' is a social construct, and also that she has no idea what 'gender identity' is - and apparently alters pronouns and 'gender identities' at random. She also states that the 'anti-gender identity' movement is anti-feminist and anti-reproductive rights, but obviously can't back that up with any evidence. She dismisses biological sex as an 'assignment' and nowhere does she acknowledge its relevance in defining a class of people and their lived experience and oppression in the world. She sounds like someone who just wants to watch the world burn.
