Queer Theory
Binary oppositions refer to pairs of contrasting terms or concepts that are often used to structure human thought and understanding, where one term is typically privileged over the other. In the context of queer theory, binary oppositions highlight the rigid categorizations of identity and sexuality, such as male/female or heterosexual/homosexual, which can limit our understanding of the complexity of human experience. By challenging these binaries, queer theory seeks to expose and deconstruct the underlying assumptions that enforce these divisions.
