'Beyond the Secular: Jacques Derrida and the Theological-Political Complex' by Dr. Andrea Cassatella
Through an in-depth, critical analysis of Jacques Derrida's later writings, Beyond the Secular examines the contemporary nexus between religion and politics. Reconnecting these writings to his early works, Andrea Cassatella explores distinctive topics that are thematically linked by the theological-political problematic and theoretically informed by Derrida's relational approach to language, time, religion, and politics. The result is a critical investigation into under-examined assumptions of modern secular discourse that questions its binary logics and illuminates such discourse's exclusionary character by tracing its roots in racialized understandings about language, epistemology, politics, and religion that travel worldwide through global processes of assimilatory translation. By exposing the discriminatory hierarchies that the Western-Christian, sexualized, and racialized presuppositions of secular discourse keep producing and maintaining, Cassatella ultimately sheds light on the deep entanglements of secularism with the legacy of race and colonialism.

In this presentation, we will discuss some of the Christian (both Catholic and Evangelical) criticisms of the concept of gender and the field of gender studies. We will first seek to understand what is meant by "gender" and then discuss what many people find controversial about the topic. Some claim it is an imperialist imposition from English and from Anglo-American urban intellectual cultures...

      Explain what specific standards “trans” people are measuring themselves against to determine that there is a "mismatch" - THEY are the ones with a regressively sexist idea of what it means to be a boy/girl or man/woman and that is the issue causing all the problems - their own misunderstanding and severely limited perspective/sexist misunderstanding of what sexist stereotypes/"gender norms" actually entail - they are not rules, they are not real boundaries, they are regressive ideas and generalisations - no one needs to live up to any such nonsense or feel comfortable with those stereotypes to be a boy/girl/man/woman - all those terms represent, and all they should represent, is sex and stage of maturity - by creating this whole "gender identity" nonsense they create an unnecessary distorted framework which needlessly causes distress. How are men or women "supposed” to think or feel, want to dress like or act? You must be able to provide specific standards for each sex for what you are contending to make any sense whatsoever. If there is no correct way of being a man or a woman, then how can there be a "mismatch" between what they are and how they feel? Female rights and protections are sex-based. Why should males be allowed to "identify" into spaces and activities exclusively reserved for the opposite sex?

    Although she agreed that even leftist scholars “should be able to clarify how their work informs and illuminates everyday life,” Butler insisted that academic writing needed to be “difficult and demanding” (her words) in order to “question common sense”-the truths which are so self-evident that no one thinks to question them-and so to “provoke new ways of looking at a familiar world.” By speaking, Butler proves to be as ideologically ugly on the inside as she is conventionally unattractive on the outside. ;)

It's taken a place under the umbrella of magical thinking.

    Ask yourself this question - if the expert must keep referring to a script in order to keep ideas coherent what does that mean about the ideas? Gender is an element of personality, an expression of natal sex. The expression and identity one performs may be congruent or incongruent with biological sex. It is ultimately a feeling. When one try's to layer something like gender into some broader grandiose concepts it can become easy to get lost in creating coherence - hence the notes. Think of gender as an attribute of your personality and the differences and fluidity might make some sense. The alternative is gender is nothing more than a way of confusing children putting them on a path to a lifetime of medical treatment which harms their future sex life in adulthood. This would be why there is push back on the concept. It is beyond ego when she starts her discussion around "fantasims" but her agenda is a Marxist one, so she will sacrifice anything so long as it deconstructs society and puts in place her tyrannical utopian view.

    You open by complaining about your words being taken out of context then you proceed to strawman the gender critical position by citing only extreme religious objections to gender ideology. Most campaigners against gender ideology are not doing so from a religious perspective but from that which seeks to protect women from erasure as a sex class. Gender ideology's attempts to assert that gender non conforming children have been born in the wrong body. This is a homophobic assertion for obvious reasons.

    • @noor5x9
      @noor5x9 Рік тому

      They merely point out that the "resistance against gender ideology" has religious origins, which is plainly a fact. They also point out that in it's origin, the term "gender ideology" was developed specifically for misogynistic reasons, to protect the "family" with a dominant man and a woman that knows her place. The secularized versions of this idea, including the one that appropriated the name "feminism", only came afterwards. In fact, globally, most campaigners against "gender ideology" are Christian, and most "gender critical" organizations domestic and abroad are funded by US Christian billionaires. "Gender critical" feminists are consevatives in hiding. They want to deny the social construct gender, preferring to return to a bio-essentialism, where everything is determined by sex. This is antithetical to everything feminism stands for. The "biological reality of sex" to spearhead transphobia will easily turn into "the biological reality of heterosexuality". We already see this in Italy, where Meloni has taken away Lesbian rights to motherhood on the basis of "the biological reality of heterosexuality". I expect not long from now, we will see the assertion of the "biological reality" that women have a specific place in society, inferior to men. This will be defended as Feminism, since women "knowing their place" - so will these "gender critical" feminists claim - is simply what is good for them.

    • @noor5x9
      @noor5x9 8 місяців тому

      Internationally, the anti-gender-ideology movement is obviously mainly a religious one. The UK is an exception to this, where a minority of leftist feminists promote the exclusion of trans women. Butler did not respond to that here, but they do in their new book on the subject quite extensively.

    Do people really deny gender as a social construct? It's most know as "masculinity/femininity" which are the social behavioral norms of males/females. While prescriptive to some extent, it's largely descriptive. A male would be "abnormal" while being feminine. The SOCIAL DEMAND FOR COMPLIANCE TO A NORM, is a separate feature from that recognition. People don't "choose" or even "are" a gender, their unique expression is simply categorized within a norm of males and females, "gender". One's behavior can be feminine, but such doesn't at all dictate their identity as a "woman". What I oppose isn't "gender", it's gender IDENTITY (through the use of social labels) and that language of man/woman or he/she should be aspects of such an identity (or gender itself), versus such binary language referencing the binary of sex. I oppose the idea of self-categorization among such a social collective through a self-perception without reinforcement from society. Language inherently requires reciprocity, as such is the only way to convey meaning with one another. And any association to a group categorization should require a level of shared understanding. I support social movements of challenging norms. What I oppose it manifesting one's identity to the norm from a structure that is at the same time being fought against and doesn't at all even exist as a structure to base such upon. "Gender" is the behavioral "norms" around the condition of sex. When the minority of males not expressing masculinity become the majority, they reshape what "masculinity" IS, they don't become women. A male that expresses femininity, isn't someone expressing "woman-ness", they are only expressing a behavior currently recognized as a norm of the female populace as compared to the male populace. Many people of the religious persuasion desire a compliance to a social norm. That sex differences that do translate to influencing certain behaviors, were "crafted that way" for a purpose. And thus we must stick to such roles. These "roles" are placed on males and females, which extends to sexual orientation as heterosexuality is the "norm". A male "laying with a male" is therefore doing the "role" of a female. And this goes against God's will. But that issue doesn't come from "sex" or "gender", but the demand toward "normal" behavior. So they aren't rejecting "gender theory", they are rejecting abnormal behavior. They are rejecting that "even if you desire otherwise, you must comply". It actually acknowledges individualism, but attempts to deny it's expression. And I take a position of supporting individualism, but accept a societal framework of language and understanding through the use of categorization. Where "abnormality" is just that, not anything with an inherent negative connotation. What I'm "afraid" of is the rise in the narcissism that demands a self-perception and association to societal group labels without any aspect of shared understanding making such language lacking of any utility. I'm "afraid", that the "cisnormative" perspective (which I deny), is attempting to replace all instances of sex with gender identity which will challenge/invalidate the large majority of people's understand of society and self. When one isn't a "man" for being a male, it will cause massive societal and individual crisises. One that seems highly detrimental without reason for such adoption.
