Abstract: If we see sex, gender, or race as external constructions, assigning identity to individuals this way risks transforming it into destiny. This is why reading Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray, and Monique Wittig leads to a re-evaluation of facticity and transcendence, concepts developed by Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir: subjective existence carries a potentiality-to-be that reappropriates and surpasses the condition imposed on it. The singular universal is a story of itself.
