Based on a literature review, this paper has sought to explore some of the conflicts between Lacanian psychoanalytic theory and Judith Butler's queer theory to understand whether the biological emancipation by Lacan's symbolic phallus would have been radical enough. Using the phallus as the privileged theoretical operator for thinking about sexuality and the sexes, we proceed through the role given to it in Freudian theory, with its status of primacy; its reformulation at the beginning of Lacanian work, and its elevation to the status of the signifier, as well as the advances promoted by this alteration. We explore the feminist critiques of Lacan to enter Butler's theory. In line with these, the American philosopher rejects the notion of the symbolic phallus and criticizes its heteronormative character, in her view, in addition to the transcendental and universal conception of the Lacanian symbolic system, since it is presented as a system incapable of offering social change. Finally, we elaborate on the possible and impossible dialogues between the theories, relying on the contrasts provided by commentators and researchers from both areas. Based on the discussion, we observe that the central debate is about the definition of sexual difference and its relationship with the three Lacanian registers, and the position taken by psychoanalysis concerning social issues
