Description
Blind to Sameness: Sexpectations and the Social Construction of Male and Female Bodies by Asia Friedman. This book explores how our understanding of sex is shaped by our perceptions, challenging the idea that there are fixed differences between male and female bodies. Through in-depth interviews with individuals who are blind and transgendered, Friedman reveals the social construction of dominant visual conceptions of sex, highlighting the processes underlying our everyday experience of male and female bodies. By examining the relationships between sex differences, biology, and visual perception, Blind to Sameness sheds new light on the sociologies of gender, culture, and cognition. This thought-provoking work will help you think differently about the way we perceive and understand sex.
