The Sexed Body

"The Sexed Body" explores how society understands and assigns meaning to physical differences between males and females. It examines how bodies are viewed as natural, fixed categories based on biological characteristics like chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs, and how these categorizations influence identity, roles, and expectations. The concept also considers how cultural, social, and political factors shape and sometimes constrain perceptions of gender and sexuality. Ultimately, it highlights that bodies are not just biological facts but are embedded with social meanings that impact individuals' experiences and opportunities.
