Who uses, recommends or left Gender Trouble, in their own words: each a verbatim quote with a link to where it was said.

And then my third hobby horse book, which I think people talk about this book all the time, but I feel like a lot of people have never actually read it, is Gender Trouble by Judith Butler. It will blow your hair back. The reason that we [laughter] don't laugh, I'm a huge listener of Manosphere podcasts along with yours. I'm a really big listener of Joe Rogan and the reason I bring it up all the time is I'm like, has Joe read Gender Trouble?

Answering The Ezra Klein Show's closing question, three books to recommend, in “This Is Why People Hate the Government” (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-annie-lowrey.html). Quoted from the episode's YouTube auto-captions.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
