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.

I would like to suggest that the article should state at the beginning that JB uses They/Them pronouns otherwise it is confusing.

In the section "Giving an Account of Oneself (2005)" the sentence "To take seriously one's opacity to oneself in ethical deliberation means then to critically interrogate the social world in which one comes to be human in the first place and which remains precisely that which one cannot know about oneself." needs to changed or attributed to Butler. It is not clear if this sentence is attributed to Butler or the author explaining an unnamed concept. The sentence in this section is superfluous, has no attribution, and lacks any citation to Butler or their work. This sentence should be removed in its present state. ] (]) 05:15, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

I like Judith Butler but I think it's important to briefly point out that the ] is unrecognized in Switzerland and essentially a degree mill, in that it literally takes people's money and pumps them out with Master's degrees after a summer course with the Who's Who of philosophers. Otherwise it looks like the European Graduate School is being used to lend authority to her, which is an indirect promotion of the school. So maybe something could be said like "at the unaccredited European Graduate School" or "at the controversial, unaccredited European Graduate School." ] (]) 06:54, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

According to this German news articel https://www.tagesspiegel.de/gesellschaft/queerspiegel/gender-und-grammatik-das-pronomen-ist-frei-vom-koerper-aber-es-ist-nicht-frei-vom-geschlecht/25826376.html from 2020-05-13, Butler prefers singular they pronouns. The relevent part is in paragraph two: "Welches Pronomen bevorzuge ich? Butler lacht . 'Es ist they', sagt Butler .", which translates to "Which pronoun do I prefer? Butler laughs . 'It is they', Butler says ." I couldn't find an English source for this and the article also says that this is the first time Butler publicly stated this preference, so there might not be an English source. Anyway, I will change the pronoun (in accrodance with the Misplaced Pages rules on pronouns) and add a sentence on their pronoun preference. ] (]) 11:52, 23 September 2020 (UTC)


<u>What I think should be changed</u> : Add a link to an interview in Intercept from May 1,2024. "Judith Butler Will Not Co-Sign Israel’s Alibi for Genocide"
:Well, it's gibberish, but if you're going to do that, you still need at least to attempt to follow the rules of English. So where, for example, you've written 'where they have served, beginning in 1998'; you'll need to write 'where they has served, beginning in 1998' - JB may self-describe as 'they' but JB is still just one person, not multiple people. ] (]) 18:22, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
<u>Why it should be changed:</u> 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.

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. https://theintercept.com/2024/05/01/judith-butler-israel-hamas-freedom-speech/ David C Parker (talk) 21:17, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
