Feminist Theory Paper

Feminist theory examines the socially constructed world by studying and focusing on different ways in which men and women have been socialized and treated; namely the way society has assigned each gender a certain status that they must occupy to adhere to cultural norms. Transgender individuals are seen as deviant in the sense that they do not conform to what society has always stated to be true; if you are born a man, then you are a man and vice versa. The Trans community goes through a status switch when they declare their true gender identity, to understand what this entails then their experiences must be examined through a lens in which distinctions around gender are the foundations of the ideology.
