Body Phobia

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book is very timely. I've recently come across terms like anti-trans and homo-negativity as alternatives for transphobia and homophobia, and those can be useful. But this book tackles deeper, harder, bigger questions: What if the hate and discrimination we face actually are manifestations of fear, and if so, why? Using phobia, not just out of habit but because it is the most accurate term, poses a serious challenge to cishet-normativity and white, Western beauty standards.”
