Theorys

*Queer Theory-About Sex and Gender*

is an anti-essentialist theory about sex and gender (and often other aspects of identify, especially race) within the larger field of Queer studies. It proposes that one's sexual identity and one's gender identity are partly or wholly socially constructed, and therefore indivduals cannot be described using broad terms like "homosexual," "heterosexual," "man," or "women."
