Bodeard Butler and the Trans Community

Bodeard's work can then be read as not necessarily opposing the domain of scientific inquiry, but accounting for the degree to which any scientific inquiry should be attuned to the cultural and significatory conditions of their object of study. The trans community is one example of community that challenges the greater system at hand to a radical reevaluation of the hyper normalized position of cis people. This reversal occurs when biological sex is inverted to mirror the highly unsteady terrain of gender identity. In this instance, sex is reduced seduced away from its objective finality of its biological imperative toward the form in Bodeard's words, "which tends always to insetle someone in their identity"
