JUDITH BUTLER
Gender performance for Butler means a social role that both men and women follow. Gender becomes naturalised and placed into social life that it seems like a necessary part of reality. Identities and gender forms are imposed on people, causing people to experience threats, such as isolation and being last out of society in the norm of how society portrays them. Boys as macho and women as fragile and feminine. She thought that preformative of genders is a stylised repetition of acts, an imitation or miming of genders. Which, causes a role in sexuality and captures a persons ability and right to choose on a large scale. And, the determinant nature of gender does not allow people to question gender roles and norms. S he believes that gender is an impersonation, becoming gendered involves inhabits. Because its a stylised repetition of acts, which are internally discontinuous so that the appearance or looks is just that, a constructed identity, which people come to believe and to perform in the mode of belief. The gender norms not only determine what enters their area but also determinate over what surrounds them, any base related to gender might be evaluated only through the opposite of itself or a principle that is different from it. She thinks for a women to identify as a women is a culturally enforced effect. And its not a given that the basis of an anatomy, an identity will be followed. She believed that 'coherent identification' has to be cultivated, policed and enforced; and that the violation of that has to be punished, usually through shame.
