After a struggle, I‘m DNFing this one at p73. It‘s too technical for me. A scholarly expert on the subject of gender identity I am not. I‘m tired of looking up words and trying to figure out what Butler is going for.

This one is HAAAAAARD, y‘all! I feel like I‘m looking up every other word in the dictionary, it‘s taking me around an hour to read 10 pages. Very little progress, getting a bit frustrated. 😫

Call me an idiot.

I got this lovely black cat a week ago. My daughter named it Shadow. Ghost and Shadow are getting along relatively well, for it being only a week.

I asked the woman I got the cat from twice, at least, whether it's a 'she' - couldn't check for all the hissing and clawing - the woman insisted it was a she.
Well, I had a sneaking suspicion it's a 'he'. Today, for the first time, Shadow let me have a real look and yep, it's a boy!

tricours My oldest brother had to be told by the vet when they came to castrate their cat that it was a female 😛 7y

AmyG I had found a kitten outside and we were so sure it was a girl. My son named her Ivana (he was fascinated by the Trumps...go figure). The vet said it was a boy. I forbid him to name the cat Donald. So he became George. It DOES happen all the time....said the vet. (edited) 7y
julesG @AmyG It just means I have to get him neutered, with two girls I might have been able to just let them be. We do not have to change the name. - 7y
ValerieAndBooks When we were teenagers, my sister had a pet parakeet that she named Nick, after Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran. A couple years later it laid an egg! She changed the bird‘s name to Nikki 😂. 7y
AmyG @JulesG Yeah, the neutering is a pain. George was my first cat and started spraying before I had the chance to neuter him. I have a girl now and she is just easier. 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 @ValerieAndBooks 😂😂😂 Nikki! Love it â¤ï¸ Hopefully you can get him neutered soon. 7y

Super hard read, but I mostly agree with what Butler writes here. It is an interesting and mind-opening analysis of how gender is a system that reproduces unfairness and ridiculous divisions between human beings.

Oh, Onion. I love your many layers. "Trump Voter Feels Betrayed By President After Reading 800 Pages of Queer Feminist Theory."

azulaco This is absolute gold 😂 8y
LonelyReader The question of gender and sex is very intrinsic to the understanding of alternate gender and sexual Identity. I have read that gender and sex is not one and the same thing. I agree with @azulaco that this book must be an absolute goldmine if it digs into gender and sex issues. 8y
