Looking Queer: Body Image and Identity in Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, and Transgender Communities

Sixty-three essays collected to counter the notion that the problems of eating and body image disorders are suffered only by heterosexual white women. The essays look at how sexism, racism, ageism, ableism, classism, and heterosexism intersect in body image issues for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered individuals. The volume is divided into four sections which look at these issues in gay and bisexual women and men, individuals who defy easy categorization, and individuals of different cultural/ethnic backgrounds.
