Reply to comment by InTheEndEntropyWins in Judith Butler: their philosophy of gender explained by Necessary_Tadpole692

I don’t understand. What does asexuality have to do with gender? That’s a sexuality.

I think they’d observe the same ideas we have about sex in regard to humans, yes, but they wouldn’t adopt the ideals because they’re not human.

Overall I’m really confused about your comment

I think they mean asexual reproduction. For the hypothetical to make sense, the person you responded to is trying to imagine an utterly alien observer whose judgement of human sexuality would not be influenced by their own alien sexual biology.
