I always thought Voltaire was responsible for “I’ll defend,” etc. The <i>Treatise on Tolerance</i> became a best-seller after the attack on the <i>Charlie Hebdo</i> office.<br /><br />Judith Butler’s observation is so clear thinking.

Not male, not female, both male and female, maybe something from another language. How about simply "Exotic?"
