Using A Series Of Case Studies Sexconfirmation Surgery, Pharmaceutical Treatments For Sexual Dissatisfaction, And Weight Loss Interventions The Book Argues That, Because Of Systemic Inequality, Most Mainstream Medical Interventions Will Simultaneously Reinforce Social Inequality And Alleviate Some Individual Suffering. The Book Demonstrates That There Is No Way To Think Ourselves Out Of This Conundrum As The Contradictions Are A Product Of Unjust Systems.
