Who's Afraid of Gender?

Judith Butler explores the fear of gender as a catalyst for reactionary politics globally, highlighting how anti-gender ideology movements manipulate this fear to challenge reproductive justice and undermine rights for trans and queer individuals. The book critiques the demonization of gender by authoritarian regimes and connects it to broader issues like critical race theory and xenophobia. Offering a hopeful vision, Butler calls for solidarity among those fighting for equality, making this a crucial intervention in contemporary social justice discourse.
