| Popis: | In this article, I argue that habit formation provides a good starting pointto understand gender identity. Judith Butler’s concept of ‘performativity’indicates that gender identity comes about through a process of social andlinguistic repetition of normative representations of gender. The phenomenological notion of ‘habitual identity’ that Maren Wehrle (2021) suggests, complements this notion of performativity, but should be complemented with a psychic aspect to attain a completer notion of performativity.Understanding performativity in terms of habit formation seemingly alsohas a downside: does it not lead to repetition of the same in an environmentof predominantly cis and binary gender identities? What does this meannow that more and more people identify as trans or non-binary? I arguethat performativity does not necessarily involve the reproduction of cisand binary gender identities, because it includes the possibility of variationfrom the norm. While cis implies that body, identity and social ascriptionscoincide, in the case of trans there are discontinuities between these three.Rather than considering cis and trans as opposites, performativity meansunderstanding both as variations, of which the discontinuities betweenbody, self and social ascriptions are more difficult to live. |
