ABSTRACT
The wide conceptual, theoretical, and methodological universe anticipates difference and an endlessly diversifying picture of gendered bodies. It's an unsettling and creative account of gendered bodies that advocate physical cultural studies pursue. This chapter focuses on how this can be achieved by moving across and working between numerous disciplines and academic traditions – biomedicine, history, sexology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, phenomenology, feminism, and ecology. Physical cultural studies can function as a gathering place. Embodied gender by Money's account, is produced through interaction between cells, environment, and experience. The socialization of gendered subjectivity requires the synthesis of and reinforcement of what behaviours are appropriate and inappropriate for one's own gender. The augmentation of sexuality as a key identifier of who we are in the modern era is key to the maintenance of sexual essentialism. Sexual practices and identifications vary across time, place, and culture.
