A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world
Yes absolutely. I would also add Palestinians, and migrants.
Easy to upvote the headline but I would encourage people to read the whole interview, it was fantastic. Very insightful thoughts on a wide variety of topics. I’ve never ready any of their works but now I’m very interested to check them out.

TL;DW: butler isn’t exactly easy to read, but has extremely interesting stuff to say; just uses very technical language to make her points, which sometimes confuses the layperson…but still worth reading, just maybe take more breaks than usual to really digest the content and expect the read to take longer than the page count would suggest and you’ll do fine ;)
Isn’t she seen as harmful for non-cis/or transwomen LGBT folks? I’m not super knowledgeable on her though
Butler — a pioneering voice in feminism, gender studies, critical theory, and contemporary philosophy — registered as non-binary in California years ago. While their pronouns changed to they/them, they chose to keep their name, a decision, they say, surprised the courthouse clerk at the time.
You’d hope not.
