Since Judith Butler describes herself/themself as non-binary she/they technically cannot be lesbian at the same time. Either Butler is a woman or she has no gender affiliation. The fact that J.B. remains to be a biological woman seems to be irrelevant nowadays since self-identification beats biology. According to this reasoning the tag "lesbian" and all mentions thereof must be removed. (provocative, I know, but I am open to debate) Schmutzman (talk) 10:57, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of non-binary people who still use the term lesbian for themselves, and plenty of lesbians who are also attracted to non-binary people. As editors, it's not our job to police someone's labels. We just need to follow the sources. Hist9600 (talk) 15:21, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No sexuality excludes non-binary people. Non-binary isn't a single third gender. There are demigender and multigender experiences that include connection to womanhood, for example. When Judith Butler came out as n-b, they didn't say they stopped being lesbian. --MikutoHtalk!01:36, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Stupid question here: Is wikipedia about informing the readers or pandering to the person who the article is about? If Trump considers himself to be an honest person who always tells the truth ... is that what wikipedia will label him? It is a label and like the poster above me wrote "it's not our job to police someone's labels". This attitude just does not make sense because it leaves the door open for misinformation. 2001:871:22B:616:B014:77AC:1B45:ECF9 (talk) 21:35, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One is always saddled with the burden of evaluating the reliability and relevance of a source. There is no formula for truth. No system or policy is immune from misinformation. Could you help me to understand what portions of the article you believe are "pandering?" Is there an source being cited for the content of this article you deem to be unreliable? If so how? 50.120.71.37 (talk) 20:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The section on Butler's comments on Israel-Hamas conflicts need to be edited extensively. In its current form, it lacks a clear depiction and history of Butler's scholarship on the issues and portrays them in a non-objective light. The last paragraph also appears to be directly translated from German and misgenders Butler several times.
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
In the notes of this article, it is indicated that this article will use they/them pronouns for Butler for consistency. Currently she/her pronouns are used for Butler in the Israel-Hamas political action section. Specifically, this occurs in the sentence, “After the start of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Butler published an essay entitled "The Compass of Mourning", in which she argued that Hamas' attacks should be seen in the context of the "horrors of the last seventy years".“ Can someone change the "she" here to "they"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gvarab13 (talk • contribs)
I have corrected that. I'm not sure what, if anything, we should do with the Die Zeit quote though. It seems to have been translated from German rather poorly if the phrasing "countless the same thing goes on for paragraphs" is anything to go by. Maybe somebody who speaks German can look at that? --DanielRigal (talk) 23:25, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"... paragraph after paragraph, always the same thing: Violence cannot be justified by anything, and yet one must see the violence of the occupying power Israel. It becomes clear that she (understandably) does not know where to direct {focus?} her thoughts anymore."
The article is behind a paywall. So I could only read the quote from the German wikipedia site and there it does not become more understandable than the version I have given you now.
In German they use the word she. I would consider it a misquote to not do so. We should also not pander to self declared labels. Nobody in their right mind would respect Trump's labels of himself and enforce them in an wikipedia article. 2001:871:22B:616:B014:77AC:1B45:ECF9 (talk) 22:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to suggest that the article should state at the beginning that JB uses They/Them pronouns otherwise it is confusing. I was about to correct the pronoun when I realized what the situation was. So please give every one a heads up regarding the pronouns. This should be a standard of all people who use non-standard pronouns. 67.204.247.30 (talk) 22:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add a link to an interview in Intercept from May 1,2024. "Judith Butler Will Not Co-Sign Israel’s Alibi for Genocide"
What I think should be changed : Add a link to an interview in Intercept from May 1,2024. "Judith Butler Will Not Co-Sign Israel’s Alibi for Genocide"
Why it should be changed: This interview adds Judith Butler's commentary on the controversy over remarks Butler made about the October 7 attacks in Israel, and eloquently expands her argument that opposition to Israel's actions is not anti-semitism. I do not have 500 edits, so I didn't try to add it as an external link. Alternatively, it could be added as a reference for the 4th paragraph of the introduction or to the section: Comments on Hamas, Hezbollah and the Israel–Hamas war.
