there is an expectation of behaviour from society based on our physical characteristics. Here is where we find out another piece of the puzzle that constitutes the meaning for gender: cultural constructed.
Gender can also be defined as cultural constructed based on the social environment that surrounds us.

Withal we can't take this for granted. However, Butler argues that these rules, norms and prohibitions, are the ones that will take us to the fact that "the injunction to be a given gender produces necessary failures", because the limits that they impose, which we must follow, are going to me tempted to go over them. By this she means that the limit on the expression of genders creates the very possibility of gender transgression. Butler gets this idea from Bataille via Foucault.
Another relevant point concerning transgression is the rule and breaking of the rule is dependent one to another. By this we mean that the breaking of a limit does not take you to freedom, it makes the limit to adapt. Again we have here that limits create transgression.
Discussing transgression without mentioning Betaille and Foucault would be like eating a pie without the crust, has no sense at all. Bateille focus mainly in issues concerning excess and social transgression as well, he gets involved in the study of erotic, prostitution, violence and profanity. These two authors are influenced by the work of Nietzsche who argues that in his day and age the belief in God is dispensable.
