Central points of her scientific work are the deconstruction of lesbian and feminist identities and identity politics in connection with theories of Michel Foucault and Hannah Arendt as well as the queer theory and post-structuralism . With her early criticism of closed identities as the basis of group formation in the women's and lesbian movement , she helped found the queer theory in Germany and subsequently expanded her critical analysis by integrating discourse-theoretical , post-colonial and cultural studies approaches. Her criticism was widely received and had an impact on the lesbian movement. She is one of the few better-known German-speaking authors who deal intensively with queer theoretical approaches. The Tagesspiegel lists her as one of the most prominent gender researchers in Germany.
