Question

For Butler, ________ is a kind of persistent impersonation that passes as the real.

Answer 1

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.
