Philosopher Judith Butler's 1990 work, Gender Trouble, shook the foundations of feminist theory and evolved the dialog about gender. While many thinkers already accepted that "gender" was a category built by society alternatively than described by one's genitalia, Butler travelled further and argued that gender is performative - it is accessible only in the acts that express it. Culture determines that putting on cosmetic is "feminine" - but some men wear cosmetic. Are they "women"? Following Butler's argument, they are simply if indeed they say they are. Butler frees gender from the age-old binary build and demonstrates that it is indefinable, at least by society. Butler's approach provides each of us the power to define our gender. A quarter century following its publication, Gender Trouble continues to be hugely influential in neuro-scientific feminism. Crucially important to the postmodern and poststructuralist strands of the field, additionally it is credited to be a foundational word in queer theory.
