Gendered/ Sexed Bodies Judith Pamela Butler is an American gender theorist and philosopher. Her work has had significant impacts on both the queer theory and the third wave feminist. In her work “Performative Acts and Gender Constitution,” she opines that gender is performative. While she defines sex as referring to a biological facticity, she describes gender as a signification or interpretation of that facticity. By arguing that gender is performative, she implies that it equally has a social audience. Social practices and structures thus dictate one’s gender. The established meanings are passed from one generation to another through the set social structures. Judith’s explanation means that different gendered sexual behaviors are imposed by normative heterosexuality. Based on this explanation, Judith takes social agents as objects as opposed to constitutive acts. Therefore, gender does not exist as an objective thing. Gender can thus only be said to be real based on the performance levels. Gender is not tied or restricted to the material body. On the contrary, it is wholly a social construction that is influenced by cultural factors. According to…
