“Speciellt då Franklin sjunger: "Now I'm no longer doubtful, of what I'm living for / And if I make you happy I don't need to do more", är det förståeligt att Butler något ironiskt avfärdar orden med att "Aretha" verkar "påtagligt glad åt att få sin naturlighet bekräftad". Borde inte hennes högsta önskan istället vara att undergräva patriarkatet, eller åtminstone att destabilisera det språkbruk som kan få en lesbisk eller transkvinna att känna sig som om hon vore onaturlig?”
