Queer Theory

Queer theory is not a theory of homosexuality, is an approach to sexuality and, more generally, identity, which builds on some of the ideas developed by Foucault (Reading). According to the reading, thither is one point I recollect its very important. We should challenge the traditional views of masculinity and femininity, and sexuality, by causing gender trouble. It reminds me a really story happened in china. Last year, we have a national singer show just Ameri bath Idol but only for male competitor. single cuckoo named Zhu, he become the most dramatic person in that show. He has long hair, wear a dress, heels, and perfect make up.He looks resembling totally a girl, especially his voice, is totally a girl. Every people shocked. When he starts singing, its totally girls voice. One of the judge upset him, ask him are you a guy? Our show only for male, he tell yes, But this judge interrupt him again, because he cant consider he is a man. The judge ask other stuff to check his I d. Afterward, the journalist interview ZHU, why he wants to dress like a girl, Zhu said I just feel comfortable when I dress like this. This video brings a big discussion on the internet. Some people think he should attend this show he brings bad influence to tradition gender culture.Some people support him, every people has a unspoiled to do what they want to do. Apply queer theory to this event, Zhu is an example of challenging the traditional views of masculinity and femininity and sexuality, he caused gender trouble. A dole out people think he is a guy, but he said I m not a guy, there is no law wear thint allow a man wear a dress and make up. Traditional view think male should men cloth, and a guy like Zhu must be guy, but the truth is no. Queer theory, is a approach encourage people can do what they want to do, can challenge traditional social view.
