Judith Butler talks about “an identity instituted through a stylized repetition of acts”. This can be shown through the acts of male and female and the stereotypical acts of females and males and what is a typical act for both of these genders. The typical act of a female could be to wear makeup or straighten their hair. A typical act for a male could be to drink a pint or play football. This can also be shown through photographs. For example, if a male was to hold up a sign with their hands or be standing in a certain stance. However, for females it could be to be stood in a certain more feminine stance and be playing with their hair this would represent both genders as it it the most stereotypical things that these genders would be doing to represent that gender. This is presented as a female doing or acting in a certain way that would represent that gender.

 the global beauty industry was valued at $511bn- some acts of stylised repetition are worth more money than others therefore you would be able to see it more often than others.

Styles announced that he hoped to “dispel the myth of a binary existence”.
