Laki-laki dan perempuan adalah sistem biner pada gender yang normatif yang hadir di tengah-tengah masyarakat. Namun, terdapat pula variasi identitas gender lainnya, meliputi transgender, agender, genderqueer, androginitas, atau kombinasi dari identitas- id ent it as t ersebut . Selain it u t erd apat pula variasi orient asi seksual, sepert i heteroseksual, homoseksual, dan aseksual. Variasi identitas gender dan orientasi seksual dapat dipengaruhi oleh peran sosial dan pengalaman traumatis, yang terlihat dalam film Indonesia Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku (2018). Fokus penelitian ada pada konstruksi identitas gender tokoh utama, Juno. Film dibedah menggunakan teori film Boggs dan Petrie untuk membedah aspek naratif dan sinematografis, kajian gender Judith Butler, dan kajian queer Brett Beemyn dan Eliason untuk membedah ideologi teks. Ketertarikan terhadap laki-laki menjadi hasil dari peran pengalaman traumatis Juno d alam mengonst ruksi id ent it as gend ernya, sed angkan peran sosial menghasilkan konstruksi identitas gender Juno yang mengarah pada adanya sifat-sifat feminin di dalam tubuh Juno yang secara alami maskulin. Dilihat dari posisi film, identitas gender Juno adalah non-biner yang perlu dihargai dan boleh hadir di tengah-tengah masyarakat. Terdapat adanya kritik film terhadap kepura-puraan masyarakat identitas non-biner yang menjalani kehidupan sesuai norma heteroseksualitas.
Men and women are binary systems on normative gender that are present in society. However, other variations of gender identity are also present in society, including transgender, agender, genderqueer, androgynous, or a combination of those identities. There are also variations of sexual identity, such as heterosexual, homosexual, and asexual. Variations in gender identity and sexual identity can be influenced by social roles and traumatic experiences of the individual which depicted in the Indonesian film Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku (2018). The research focuses on the construction of the main character's gender identity. The film is analyzed using Boggs and Petrie’s film theory to dissect the narrative and cinematographic aspects of the film, Judith Butler’s gender studies, and queer studies from Brett Beemyn and Eliason to dissect the ideology of the text. The attraction to men is the result of Juno's traumatic experience in constructing his gender identity, while social roles result in Juno's gender identity construction which leads to the presence of feminine traits in Juno's naturally masculine body. Judging from the film's position, Juno's gender identity is placed as a non-binary that needs to be respected and allowed to be present in society. There is also film criticism against the pretense of society with its non-binary identity who lives a life according to the norms of heterosexuality.
