Reply to comment by WesternIron in Judith Butler: their philosophy of gender explained by Necessary_Tadpole692
>(the major feminist criticism of her work comes from how to deal with trans people, as her model kinda ignores them)
I just want to add a small detail to this: Butler has been explicit about their approach here. The point of the theory of performativity was to show how the (let's say) standard model of sex/gender classification fails to take into account the various other possibilities that are possible (i.e., trans identities).
