Bodies Unbound is a comparative study showing how ideologies of
gendered bodies shape medical care and the ways in which patients
respond to these ideologies through decisions about their bodies
using three cases: transgender men seeking preventative
gynecological care, cisgender men diagnosed with breast cancer, and
cisgender women with breast cancer who elect to undergo
prophylactic mastectomies. Bodies Unbound is a story about how the
relationship between bodies and gender becomes socially
intelligible as well as how medical professionals use their
position of relative authority over bodies to dictate which
combinations of bodies and genders are legitimate or not. Drawing
on the experiences of individuals whose bodies and gender
identities don't match medical and social expectations for
gynecological and breast cancer care, Sledge unravels the
taken-for-granted alignment of bodies and gender that provide the
foundation of medical care in the United States.Â
