Judith Butler on Gender
◦ Gender is performative: creates a series of effects and meanings (this is difference from
performance)
◦ Performance: Acting, taking on a role, individualized
◦ Performative: series of repeated acts that create and symbolize collective meaning
◦ Traditional conventional beliefs characterize gender as something inherent, essential,
internal in all of us
◦ Gender is actually a set of meanings that are constantly being produced and
reproduced through our performative acts such as language, laws, representations,
etc. These meanings/symbols that construct Gender changes over time

Gender’s Relationship to Sexuality
◦ Gender influences the way we perceive sexual behavior and sexuality, both culturally
and individually because we define sexuality in relation to the gender of the people
performing sexual acts or possessing sexual desire.
◦ For example:

◦ Gay= Attraction between men
◦ Lesbian= Attraction between two men
◦ Bisexuality= Attraction to multiple genders
◦ Our social attitudes towards sexuality and gender are influenced by each other
