Mainstream gender discourse of society changes since the New Period, it breaks the unity and emphasizes on gender roles, which tend to be more diversity. Represented text of Transvestite Wearing appeared in contemporary children’s fiction, which poses a definite challenge to works of traditional gender discourse, and constraints on individual development caused by old binary opposition gender discourse are discussed consciously. This text expects to provide correlation theory and the expansion of creation with new ideas and possible Thinking. I’d combine the relevance discourse of "gender" from Feminism, and analyze the Transvestite Wearing texts we have in the reference of operates of Close Reading.The introduction part consists of three parts:Feminism and its development of gender (including the interpretation of connotation about Transvestite Wearing); general situation of gender research in children’s fiction at home and abroad; development and research characteristic of gender in Chinese children’s fiction.The main body of the paper analyze typical copywriter, and extend it to gender discourse of average works. And the writing mainly expand from two directions in logic:on vertical, the fist part explains some running mode of traditional gender discourse and its paradoxical dilemma brought by individual development especially for female development, which investigated in opposite sex Transvestite Wearing texts by Yang Hongying’s Tomboy Diane. The second part takes Cheng wei’s The girl’s red shirt for example, analyze the position of Gender identity tags in Various factors which lead to construction of individual’s personality, investigated by same-sex Transvestite Wearing texts.The third part has presented that various trend of post-structuralism are going to the same destination, which based on the analysis of "A beautiful mind", "The young dream" and "Little man in the skirt". Thus a widespread point of view, fighting for gender equality positively and maintaining for the possibility of diversity of culture, is obtained. Above the paper, each part can be extended to the general reference of the non-transitive wearing type.In the horizontal structure, the gender ideology involves in the phenomenon of outside-inside separation, which is contained in example texts of the first and second part of the paper. And each layer of two separations contains different problems of the current dilemma of "gender" in children’s fiction; especially two typical phenomena of sex mindset and the conspiracy with powerful discourse are on gender discourse level. Therefore the author will analyze the two levels of the story and the discourse by borrowing the operation method and thought in narrative theory which is first proposed by Todolphin in 1956. The third work of the third part is the most unified between the inner and outside and the most successful in using the sex writing strategy, and the last text is the same type of foreign countries. Since being written in vertical and horizontal direction, the structure of the paper can be a relatively complete extending and comparing system.In conclusion, this paper will analyze the attempt of revealing and solving the problem of gender dilemma from the " Transvestite Wearing" type text and the feasible direction which the author tend to approve of, in order to provide new possibilties of idea and thinking to the development of the relevant theory and creation.
