Judith Butler and theories of gender performativity. Gender performance refers to the rituals and routines that we carry out to construct our gender. Butler argues that sex and gender are separate concepts. Gender is fluid, and we can shape our gender performance through our actions. Gender performativity refers to how our performance of gender affects the world around us.
