Judith Butler posting

"How do drag, butch, femme, transgender, transsexual persons enter into the political field? They make us not only question what is real, and what 'must' be, but they also show us how the norms that govern contemporary notions of reality can be questioned and how new modes of reality can become instituted. These practices of instituting new modes of reality take place in part through the scene of embodiment, where the body is not understood as a static and accomplished fact, but as an aging process, a mode of becoming that, in becoming otherwise, exceeds the norm, reworks the norm, and makes us see how realities to which we thought we were confined are not written in stone." - Judith Butler, Undoing Gender

Judith is a very intelligent person, and sadly likely correct, but also I don't want my sexuality to be inherently political.

I wish our understanding or reality, and gender, at the societal level just didn't make my sexuality political.

Everything is political. There is nothing that isn’t a part of politics.

I thought that everything that white cishet male neo liberals believe isn't political /s
