This study of Bound's novel aims to show how Sasana struggles to live in an
environment where it is difficult to accept gender issues. Sasana gets a lot of
discrimination because of behavior that is considered abnormal for masculine people,
he is required to show only his masculine gender. Sasana who is the main character
shows that there are two genders in him, not only masculine gender but he also shows
feminine gender. The Researchers use descriptive qualitative and focus on issues
related to gender identity. The theory used to analyze is the queer theory and the theory
of gender performativity by Judith Butler. The results of this study indicate that Sasana
as the main character in Bound novel is a form of representation of the shemale, but
Sasana is also carries the character of feminism and masculine gender performativity.
Therefore, the gender identity shown by Sasana is queer, which is a combination of
masculine and feminine gender, so that neither one is dominant. Although. Sasana's
body is that of a man and he has the courage to go against his body shape with the
nature that he has of being feminism so that this becomes a negative stigma for
heterosexual people.
