In this study, gendered, sexist and sexual acts and discourses formed by ideological and dogmatic discourses about the body and the body itself were questioned. In line with these inquiries, the causes of gendered phenomena built on male and female gender norms were revealed. In this respect, gender and sexuality debates based on radical feminism have been taken into focus. The elements that construct philosophical, epistemological, ontological and ideological discourses that affect the legitimation processes of sexual identity and sexual orientations are analyzed. In this context; Depending on the theoretical discussions of radical feminism, ideologies related to gender, sexual orientations and desexualization from modernism to postmodernism have been put forward. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted using the qualitative method. In this direction; The changing situation of the concepts and theories put forward for the concepts of sexuality and de-sexing has been elaborated, and the biological and social reflections of gender have been analyzed on the axis of radical feminism. It was concluded that the gender and sexuality of the body were reconstructed with neutral concepts.

This situation has led to the legitimation of genderless identities and genderless sexualities through hegemonic ideologies. This shows that the pleasures and desires of the body are imprisoned by hegemonic ideologies and taken under control.
