Far-left feminist professor praises transgender agenda for ‘frightening’ people

A gender studies professor at the University of California at Berkeley said the transgender agenda is supposed to make people “uncomfortable” and has aims at “changing reality.”

Judith Butler is a professor at Berkeley. She has research expertise in critical theory, gender and sexuality studies and explained her ideas to “Big Think” in June.

Butler argued that “gender wasn’t a predetermined reality, but a fluid construct formed by culture, history, and individual identity.”

She then discussed how transgenderism was an offspring of the feminist movement against sex stereotypes and gender roles.

“When trans people started living openly, something changed in the world… Reality changed,” she said.

“We are seeing the changing of terms. We no longer speak about family, woman, man, desire, sex in the same way,” she said.

The changing of language regarding sex and gender, that those two are separately defined is driving the ideological change of reality, according to Butler.

“We’re talking about an act that makes something come into being or an act that has real consequences. We’re talking about the changing reality,” she said…

“The idea that we can change reality, transform reality… There’s an instability in that that’s very frightening to people who want to understand their gender as fixed. But is anybody’s gender necessarily a universal or is it a complicated emergence that happens with each of us?”
