In March 2018, Podemos presented, based on the protection of trans people, its most neoliberal, sexist and retrograde Bill to date: the controversial Trans Law . The Project aims to guarantee the right to free self-determination of people's sexual identity and gender expression. Already in the very premise of the Law, it demonstrates that it embraces the unscientific postulates of the theories of Paul Preciado and Judith Butler, gestating progenitors of queer theory. This Law is one more example of the lack of knowledge that currently exists about the concept of gender and its relationship with sex. Simone de Beauvoir wrote The Second Sex around the age of forty. The publication in 1949 of her masterpiece brought her numerous criticisms for promoting hatred of men and the family and defending abortion.
During the almost thousand pages of it, the author refers to women as “female of the human race,” but she also asks in her introduction about the definition of woman. If she, she claims, the function AOL Email List of female is not enough to define her and “the eternal feminine” does not provide a real answer for her sexist character, what, then, is a woman? It will be in the second part of the essay, after exhaustively analyzing the biology of women and what aspects of historical materialism or psychoanalysis could have led to her subjugation, when she coins the famous phrase about her, so poorly understood and used today in day. Beauvoir flatly stated that one is not born a woman, but rather becomes one. But, and here comes the normally omitted part, a woman does not deliberately.
Make herself, but, in her own words, the whole of civilization produces this intermediate product between the male and the castrated one that is usually described as feminine. The French philosopher does not yet talk about gender, but she establishes the foundations for all subsequent feminism, related or critical of her thesis, when she points out that sex is essential for the development of gender. Gender, as established by Beauvoir and Kate Millet, among others, cannot be eliminated, nor is it only a performance that a person decides to interpret according to their wishes. In 1969, the radical feminist Kate Millet took up Beauvoir's baton by defining gender as the social construct that is developed around a specific sex, naturalizing qualities and aspects that are believed to be necessarily linked to said sex, within the most dominant system.
