Abstract

The visual markers of gender identity as the embodiment of the identification, life experience and experience of subjectivity are analyzed. The issue of gender socialization was, is and will be one of the most important issues of social stability, cultural tolerance, truly good for the individual company. By constantly living in a man needs to see both near and far future, only that symbolized stability for the person as the safety and security of life itself. And because of this same fear is natural for human society as a whole and the individual in particular, are afraid of any change. But the changes are a breakthrough for the future, as well as life itself is synonymous with instability. Any aspiration to expand the boundaries of accepted norms of society, any movement toward democracy is understood as the recognition of the invasion, violation of homogeneity of social identity, and, in particular, gender identity. But if we want freedom, we must understand that every and any exemption requires more than just the recognition and study of the differences that exist between identities. And the study of these differences is the study of the tools of gender identity issues. The main purpose of this article is to examine the role of visible markers of gender identity as a way to study the problem of achieving freedom. Following the stated purpose, we propose to allocate the following tasks: - Learning the tools of manifestation of gender identity in the society; - To investigate markers of this complex social construct; - To consider the problem of the basic criteria category «woman.» Trying to understand such a complicated issue as a phenomenon of identity, the researchers analyzed the problem thoroughly from different angles. The manner of visual criteria is quite an effective tool in addressing this issue. Building on the philosophical sources and on theoretical and empirical research in the social sciences, Linda Alkoff makes a strong case that the identity as such, do not pursue any special interests, and they are not bound to any pronounced opposition to the policy discourse. Identity politics does not necessarily lead to conformism, essentialism, or the condemnation of others. Identities are historical formations and their political content is always open to interpretation.
