COMM 435 San Marcos Gender Communication Essay

Judith Butler’s work is revolutionary in the understanding of gender/sex. Her work helps us to move away from classifying gender as expressive and toward understanding gender as performative. Please begin your essay by explaining the difference between classifying gender as expressive and gender as performative.

Butler also states that gender is fabricated and that genders cannot be true or false but only produced. Please explain what she means by this and provide an example. Finally, why is understanding gender/sex performativity crucial in challenging the idea of gender/sex normativity?
