Abstract

Nowadays, discussions on sex and gender, thus include sexual orientation and gender identity, have become one of the most popular in the society. The significantly-arising LGBTQ+ related issues, however, do not guarantee massive acceptance. Misunderstanding about queer-related terms are still everywhere, including confusion about gender stereotype and sex. Literature nowadays, as the choice for self-expression, often discusses such ideas. A movie by Luca Guadagnino, Call Me By Your Name, is one renowned contemporary queer movie. This research aims to debunk statements and stereotypes about gender stereotypes by showing how Elio Perlman (a biological male) can bear feminine traits. This research uses qualitative method. Using Barbara Welter’s theory, The Cult of True Womanhood, which specifies four criteria of disposition that portrays femininity—that is, set of characteristics that is often associated with biological female—the writer compiled evidences from the movie and few additional supporting evidences from the original script that show Elio’s feminine traits throughout his same-sex relationship with Oliver. The findings show that Elio, regardless being a biological male, does have all four feminine traits mentioned in the theory through his action, dialogues, and expression, without making him less man. This then shows that sex and gender stereotype are two distinct idea that are not bound one to another, thus everyone can bear both femininity and masculinity regardless of their biological sex.
