Queer performative theory challenges dominant beliefs about gender identity and is fundamentally a reform against modern homophobic and anti-queer society. From a positive perspective, this theory is assumed to bring knowledge and awareness to the issue, but it can be argued that having these individuals get involved would in turn isolate them much more than they already have been. According to public opinion, it could also be argued that gender identity is not particularly fluid and for the most part is constant; an individual who identifies as one thing does not wake up one morning and change his mind. It is more a process of discovering what is already within the individual and has been suppressed by society telling individuals that it is not.
