Judith Butler Quotes About Choices

• ... that gender is a choice, or that gender is a role, or that gender is a construction that one puts on, as one puts on clothes in the morning, that there is a 'one' who is prior to this gender, a one who goes to the wardrobe of gender and decides with deliberation which gender it will be today.

Independientemente de si uno siente que su realidad de género y sexo está firmemente fijada o no, toda persona debe tener derecho a determinar los términos jurídicos y lingüísticos de su vida.

• Let me say one thing to clarify my position. I think we can take distance from norm but I think we are also mired in norm, "empêtrés", I think you say in French. And I think the choices we can make are only in a certain struggle with the norms out of which we're constituted.
