Fear of Conversion, Judith Butler, and the Palm Beach County “Social Disease.”

I’ve continued my discussion of police entrapment of gay and straight individuals in Palm Beach County in Isaac Stolzfuts’ Journal with a written monologue about Judith Butler’s feminist work, Bodies That Matter, 1993, and Gender Trouble, 1990. These two books deal with the creation of acceptable norms for human sexuality and identity within culture, and how these are constructed in the individual through “performance.” Please click on the link above to go to that discussion.
