Natalie Wynn (Contrapoints) mentioned Gender Trouble by Judith Butler 3 times

I watched the movies 37 times. I read 3000 pages of psychoanalysis, and 8000 pages of queer and radical feminist theory. Now some people say that I'm overly fixated on "Twilight", that mother's having another episode. [The book shown on screen]

- Are you gonna try to make me read Judith Butler again? - I'll summarize it. Gender is a series of gestures. It's called performativity. It's the way you dress, it's the way you speak, it's the way you act, it's the way you relate to other people. Through transitioning we habituate to the gestures of womanhood, and socially that makes us women, regardless of biology or psychology, checkmate transphobes.

Performances. You like philosophy so much, haven’t you read Judith Butler? Gender is performance. We’re all born naked and the rest is literally drag. Womanhood is not what you are, it’s what you do. And trans women have to be virtuosas of womaning. - So according to you there’s no difference between a trans woman and a drag queen?
