C.N. Lester
“By claiming that our words are too hard to understand, the media perpetuates the idea that WE are too hard to understand, and suggests that there’s no point in trying.”
C. N. Lester

Judith Butler
“There is no reason to assume that gender also ought to remain as two. The presumption of a binary gender system implicitly retains the belief in a mimetic relation of gender to sex whereby gender mirrors sex or is otherwise restricted by it.”
Judith Butler, Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity

Judith Butler
“Whether or not we continue to enforce a universal conception of human rights at moments of outrage and incomprehension, precisely when we think that others have taken themselves out of the human community as we know it, is a test of our very humanity.”
Judith Butler, Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence

Judith Butler
“To operate within the matrix of
power is not the same as to replicate uncritically relations of domination.”
Judith Butler, Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity
