According to queer theory,identity is:

A) a coherent entity that emerges from within our "souls," making us who we are.
B) fixed and unchanging throughout the life course.
C) socially produced and fluid and multiple.
D) the product of both genetics and socialization.

Queer theory emphasizes that identity is socially produced and multiple, rather than a fixed and unchanging entity that emerges from within our "souls." Queer theory recognizes that identities are fluid and shaped by a variety of factors, including power relations, culture, and history. This perspective challenges the idea that identity is solely determined by our genetics or socialization, and emphasizes the ways in which our identities are constantly being constructed and re-constructed through social interactions and political struggles.
