Document Summary

Normal is socially constructed: a functional vagina is a vagina that will be able to accept a normal size penis , society views women as sexual objects. Society says that any vagina that can accept a normal size penis is acceptable . But what exactly is normal: doctors only ask about the sexual pleasure of husbands and boyfriends with no regard to the patient. Social concepts: i feel abnormal because i had to be xed, not for the truth about my body. I feel different because of my surgeries, not because of my vaginal dimple: example of labelling theory: there is nothing inherently wrong about morris" body. However, because her body is labelled as deviant and subject to surgical xing as a result, she begins to internalize this deviance, thereby self-ful lling the prophecy: being born without a vagina was not my problem.
