Most of the people both on the left and the right have never actually read Judith Butler's works... that jew actually has some interesting insights regarding sexuality, here are some of them:
- Both gender and sexual orientations are performative
No one is born with a certain gender or sexuality, people act in certain ways that get categorized as being proper of someone from a certain gender or sexuality. In reality, we might say that people have some tendencies, but things just end there, and that leads us to our second point:
- Both gender and sexual orientations are political actions
Here I'm not referring to political lesbianism, but rather the fact that ascribing a performance to someone of a certain gender or sexual orientation is opressive, one may come to that conclusion through a conjunction of the theory of both Foucault and Judith Butler...
Society says that a woman should have a feminine appearance, wear certain clothes, talk softly, and also says that man should perform a masculine act in order to be seen as a man. The natural resolution of gender/queer theory is that, in the future, all the terms that we use nowadays to refer to both gender and sexual orientation are simply gonna begone, and that leads us to our third point:
- We tend towards a post-LGBT world
The whole point of the LGBT movement is the implosion of the LGBT movement, by the time no one is judged for any of their actions anymore (in regards to their sexuality), so everyone may do whatever please them and people will not feel the need to label them in any certain way.
...
That's it folks, I'm not saying that I necessarily believe in any of this, but it's still interesting nevertheless.
