Description

Health and illness. The difference seems straightforward, but the line is not necessarily clear. Political issues related to "normal" gender, sex, and sexuality, for example, are disguised when cloaked in medical garb. What's more, one person's sought after treatment may be punishment or abuse to someone else. This course explores these and related issues as seen in the removal of homosexuality from DSM; demands for care by AIDS activists; debates about intersex and trans; and contemporary "disorders" such as PMS/pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, erectile dysfunction, and inhibited desire.
