NOTE

Challenge the Illusion of Normalcy

Queer theory critiques the sociocultural construct of 'normalcy', which has been established as a form of private property by certain groups. This construct creates a societal stratification, privileging those who fit the norm while marginalizing those who do not. The ideology of cis-heteronormativity presents this norm as neutral and common-sense, reinforcing its status and obscuring its arbitrary nature. Those identified as queer have a responsibility to dismantle this notion of normalcy, as it is misaligned with a genuine understanding of identity and exists to perpetuate inequality. The discussion also connects this concept to postmodernism, suggesting that this struggle involves recognizing and rejecting prevailing narratives that uphold such power dynamics.
