She feels that there is no way to change the situation, as she would not be able to make things change and the situation would not happen. In this case, she understands that she won't be able to do what she was told because she doesn't have what it takes, or that there is no way for her to do that.
Gender
For Butler, gender is a kind of
persistent impersonation that passes as the real. Gender refers to the role of
a male or female in society, known as a gender role, or an individual's concept
of themselves, or gender identity. Occasionally, an individual’s genetically
assigned sex does not correspond with their gender identity. These individuals
might refer to themselves as transgender, non-binary, or gender-nonconforming.
