This week I decided to spend the day searching the internet to read about personal experience and more about how gender is inscribed on the body. I went through one of my favorite platforms of ‘Thought Catalog,’ which is described as, “a digital youth culture magazine dedicated to your stories and ideas.” Below I will provide the links of the stories that stood out to me.
