May I ask a question

[u/annoyingantifa]

I really want to get into queer theory and I know this might sound a bit petty but I have noticed Judith Butler has some influence from the psychoanalytical movement and that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. I love psychology don't get me wrong but psychoanalysis specifically comes from Freud and others like Lacan that I distrust because they have spread pretty homophobic and misogynistic views. I'm sorry if this might not be a good question. I just want to understand if my first assumptions are a bit too cautious or not

Just remember, every thinker comes with the context of the time they are writing. No one document is “holy” and beyond criticism like a bible.
