Gender Performativity

Performativity: Explain the two different ways we perform, according to Judith Butler. Then identify which of these two forms of performativity Judith Butler thinks we do with gender. Unpack why this differentiation is important and the potential  problems that could come in understanding gender as the other kind of performance. Finally, think of an example that proves Butler’s argument and explain how it does so.
