Judith Butler Quote: “To say that gender is performative…”

To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects. We act and walk and speak and talk in ways that consolidate an impression of being a man or being a woman.

Adelbert von Chamisso Quote: “After a prosperous, but to me…”
