+ şunu diyeyim, şu anki dersimde 3 tane trans var. onlara sorduğunuzda (felsefe yüksek lisansı öğrencileri, alman, dutch, dutch) biyoloji diye bir şey yok. Kadın vücudu diye bir şey yok. Hollanda genelindeki transların neredeyse hepsi için böyle bu durum. Aranızda trans toplumunun ve teorisinin içinde olan birisi varsa bu benim yani. Gözlemlerimden konuşuyorum, hem teoriyi nasıl kabul ettiklerini hem de o teori ile neler yaptıklarını görüyorum.
geçenlerde bir başka alman trans arkadaiım detrans olduğu için okulu terk etti çünkü bütün arkadaşlıkları bozuldu...
önce teori ve bu grubun önceliği olan biyolojik kadın ve biyolojik erkek diye şeyler yokturu tartışalım sonra diğerlerini tartışırız.
The author of the ground-breaking book Gender Trouble says we should not be surprised when the category of women expands to include trans women

You have often been the target of protesters across the world. In 2014, anti-gay marriage protesters in France marched on the streets denouncing ‘théorie du genre’ – gender theory. In 2017, you were burnt in effigy by evangelical Christian protesters in Brazil chanting ‘take your ideology to hell’. What do you make of that?
The anti-gender ideology movement, a global movement, insists that sex is biological and real, or that sex is divinely ordained, and that gender is a destructive fiction
, taking down both “man” and “civilization” and “God”. Anti-gender politics have been bolstered by the Vatican and the more conservative evangelical and apostolic churches on several continents, but also by neoliberals in France and elsewhere who need the normative family to absorb the decimation of social welfare.
This movement is at once anti-feminist, homophobic and transphobic, opposing both reproductive freedom and trans rights. It seeks to censor gender studies programs, to take gender out of public education – a topic so important for young people to discuss. And to reverse major legal and legislative successes for sexual freedom, gender equality and laws against gender discrimination and sexual violence.
Judith Butler’s work has been enormously influential and, at times, controversial, but it is grounded in a commitment to justice and equality.

Instead, Butler proposes that gender is not biological, but “performative”. The term “performativity” does not simply mean performance. We can think of it in terms of the linguist
J.L. Austin’s concept of the “performative utterance”, which refers to a statement that brings about that which it states. The classic example is “I now pronounce you man and wife”. Spoken by a person socially approved to do so, these words create a married couple.
Butler argues that gender works in this way: when we name a child as “girl” or “boy”, we participate in creating them as that very thing. By speaking of people (or ourselves) as “man” or “woman”, we are in the process creating and defining those categories.
Some gender theory distinguishes between biological “sex” and social “gender”, but Butler finds this counterproductive. For Butler, it makes no sense to talk about biological “sex” existing outside of its social meanings. If there is such a thing, we can’t encounter it, because we are born into a world that already has a particular understanding of gender, and that world then retrospectively tells us the meaning of our anatomy. We can’t know ourselves outside of those social meanings. In fact, much of Butler’s work reminds us we cannot fully know ourselves at all.
Şu kabarttığım kısımlarda yer alan şey bu durumun özünü oluşturuyor. Bu öz ne kadar doğru size bırakıyorum, ama bu düşüncenin işin özü olduğu tartışmasızdır. TQ+= Butler.
Bu öz doğru değilse bunun her yapısına karşı olursun. Bu düşüncenin ne kadar postmodern saçmalık olduğunu size bırakıyorum.
