Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi’s Red Lipstick: A Queer Study

Abstract

In the current novel Red Lipstick, the third-gender situations are the key areas of focus. It is looked at and
described with a queer lens. The Third Gender has experienced prejudice from society. The present research
examines the historical use of the queer theory in the hijra community and provides a comparison of the queer
in Indian culture. The chapter lines in the hijra's story are about their identification crisis. It also demonstrates
the difficulties that the Hijra or members of other communities suffer as a result of not being treated equally
by either gender. This is the analysis's finding regarding the third-gender tales. The hijras, a particular subgroup
of the male-to-female transgender population, adopt the conventional language outlined by regional
authorities. The conceptual frameworks used in this study come from anthropology, communication studies,
and digital and social media, as well as a social media ethnography. a particular class of male to female
transgender people, known as employs the slang designated by regional authorities for the hijras. The
conceptual frameworks used in this study come from anthropology, communication studies, and digital and
social media, as well as a social media ethnography. Queer theory corrects these evasive strategies, as well as
the fundamental political concept that "all politics is local" and promotes rhetorical sensitivity to a wide
audience within the LGBT "community." Queer theory also bolsters a crucial assertion made by all rhetorical
theorists that activists should remember: language expression may affect behaviour.
