“…In order to gain access to sex reassignment surgery and medical treatment, for example, individuals may have to use a discourse of wrong body (or gender dysphoria) whether or not that is exactly how they would interpret their experience because that is how medicine and, crucially, insurance companies, have articulated the problem (Roen 2002;Stone 2006). Some writers have even suggested that WBD is an artifact of medical intervention in transgender lives (Hausman 1995(Hausman , 2001. Wilchins (1997) concludes that "trans-identity is not a natural fact" at all.…”

As Stryker (1994) notes "bodies are rendered meaningful only through some culturally and historically specific mode of grasping their physicality that transforms the flesh into a useful artifact…Gendering is the initial step in this transformation, inseparable from the process of forming an identity by means of which we are fitted to a system of exchange in a heterosexual economy" (p. 249-250).…”
