Abstract:
Queer theory challenges and breaks the boundaries of queer and includes many sexual minorities under the term queer. “Queer” is the idea that identities are not fixed and do not determine who we are (Lauretis, 1990). It believes that identities are fluid; they are always in construction and can change. The fixed model of sex that is male and female marginalizes the third gender and excludes it from the society. Nature and culture are assorted, it is seen that culture and norms of the society are more important in determining the gender of the person and how one should act. The concept of one body and one sex has done a lot of mental and physical harm to the hermaphrodites. From educational to professional lives hermaphrodites are ill treated and marginalized. People see queer as deviants but queer question “normality” and “heterosexuality”.
