Biological sex is also analysed to be a construct, emerging from ideas of gender. Feminist Transphobic rhetoric, or \u2018Gender Critical\u2019 or \u2018TERF\u2019 ideology puts forward that gender is oppressive to the female sex, and should be abandoned, leaving only biological sex. Butler\u2019s \u2018Gender Trouble\u2019 is used to demonstrate why this is impossible.<\/p>\n<p>The examination of these ideas will unfold in the following way: first examing the emergence of these Feminist Transphobic ideas, then an analysis of the Feminist Transphobic rhetoric. Next will follow an explanation of Butler\u2019s \u2018Gender Trouble\u2019. This basic examination will allow an exploration of Butler\u2019s perfomativity theory, applied to a critique of \u2018Gender Critical\u2019 ideas, including updating \u2018Gender Trouble\u2019 with current understandings of Gender variance, and providing an analysis and criticism of Feminist Transphobia with this updated understanding of \u2018Gender Trouble.\u2019 This updated understanding of \u2018Gender Trouble\u2019 will reveal how gender in the modern era can progress and expand in a way that allows emancipation from harmful stereotypes surrounding gender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaden Foley, 2019, Stage 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8792,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[307,22,128],"tags":[82,45,124],"class_list":["post-2223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-307","category-abstracts","category-stage-2-abstracts","tag-feminism","tag-gender","tag-transgender"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8792"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2223\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
