Chris, Chris, Chris... don't be coming at her with all these facts. Don't you know her feelings don't care about your facts...? It's the narrative, man, that matters. She has her own truth - no need to consider ACTUAL truth for "what is truth?" Sigh...
Appreciate your efforts to clarify the nonsense of Judith Butler. As a psychoanalyst, I recently lost a very unhappy young woman patient who identified as "non binary and queer". As gently as I could, I was uncovering the depths of her unhappiness, but her defense was taking exception when I used "disrespectful language" and referred to her as a sister .... she is going to look for a "therapist who identifies as queer and non-binary." She feels this person will be in a better place to understand her.
It is heartbreaking what gender nonsense is doing to young people IMO.
There are indeed a few brain dead democrats who are unaware of the pedopathic vermin filling the democrat party of today.
Transhausen by proxy is just another example of the toxic democrat witches so prevalent in todays society, who will sacrifice their own children (and especially yours) on the altar of Woke perversion.
Mutilating the healthy organs of mentally ill children is just another example of the rabid rodents that are ruining the world.
I know suing is so overdone these days but I bet that publisher is liable for these intentional and sloppy errors. A fake intellectual like Butler would be metaphorically slain by exposing her lazy “scholarship.”
Thank you for addressing the use of “Latinate neologism” in Butler’s writings. It’s a standard weapon in the DEI field as well. A while ago I attended a seminar about software used to predict recidivism for criminal sentencing purposes. As an attorney, I’d hoped to gain some useful insights but it turned out to be a DEI-focused event. The entire presentation was a mess of garbled verbiage so dense I couldn’t figure out what ideas they meant to convey. It’s an intentional strategy to undermine your confidence in your own intellectual abilities so that you don’t question or challenge their ideas. Calling them out on it is long overdue.
Obfuscatory prose is the name of the game, and the more you succeed at creating convoluted text, the more you're likely to be revered by peers and professors alike. I used to take pride in being able to unpack concepts from her brand of writing, but now see it for what it is: intentionally incomprehensible language used to shield her from criticism. If you take issue with the fundamental concepts, you're a fascist; if you don't understand the fundamental concepts, you just don't "get it," probably due to your "cis" and otherwise "privileged" subjectivities.
Now Butler is tacking on they/them pronouns, which highlights the problems inherent to the current gender construction debate. With her own prose, she has annihilated her own subjectivity as a woman (meaning, biological human female) and included herself in a category of non-binary people to justify her place in the woke political discussion she's helped to create. It's not surprising that facts get overlooked when the goal of this kind of writing, and the politics it's spurred, is meant to simultaneously confuse and excite people, which speaks to its place, not as academic literature, but as contemporary propaganda.
How did someone as emotionally and intellectually screwed up (plus generally non-entity) as Judith Butler ever get to be deemed a 'high-powered academic'; a 'scholar'; a 'philosopher' for Christ's sake? Had she presented herself at any academic institution worthy of the name all those years ago she would have been told politely that the academic life was not for her - and then a good psychotherapist suggested to her where she might get some help with her personal 'gender' hang ups.
“An unremarkable Foucault imitator, Butler is not particularly insightful, but her use of Latinate neologisms and dense prose give her work the appearance of profundity.” Haha. Not sure what this means, but it’s funny. Let me now go to the dictionary.
This article is a fabulous smackdown of that phony fraud who is so fake that redundancy is necessary to communicate the full extent of her phony fraud.
So interesting! I have been saying for years that scholars who propose anything “socially constructed” enter into a quagmire in which they attempt to make abstractions real with further abstractions. It leads to false claims, circular reasoning, a tautology of citing others who say the same things, and plagiarism. And of course pure lies as you have exposed.
Chris, honestly where do these charlatans come from? We have seen many such species at the private schools here Can’t figure it out— for people like Burler is the motivation a desire for money or trendy academic accolades? Is it based on childhood abuse, mental illness, pure desire for communist overthrow? I’d love to be a fly on the paper of her neuropsych- eval! Lol! It’s breathtaking to see the warping.
Reading her extremely long run on sentence made my head hurt. Too early in the morning for that.

Great response to her attacks. She is worthy of being defrocked just on the basis of that 94 word sentence alone.
Her quote as posted by you is all we need to read. Says it all.
“She often seems impressed with herself as she turns English words into Germanic-length monsters.” Hahaha

She must have studied sentence structure as an art form with our VP Harris
