Who's Afraid of Gender? is a 2024 book by Judith Butler that discusses the conservative movement against transgender rights, abortion and feminism, which is coalesced under the 'anti-gender movement.' Butler covers examples from Pope Francis' comments comparing transgender people to nuclear weapons and Vladimir Putin calling Europe 'Gayropa' and saying gender a Western construct that will destroy the family. Butler argues that the moment calls for solidarity between persecuted groups and a coalition of resistance.[1][2][3]
