FAB Gab’s final episode for the year is out now! Kathryn MacKay chats with Eva De Clercq about her paper on the kind and level of care that young adults with variations of sex characteristics can access. De Clercq reports on how these young adults’ experiences of love – from friends, parents, or intimate partners – can help to overcome the ‘violence of curiosity’ from the scientific and medical communities.
Here’s a sneak peek:
“Something that I in the paper called the violence of curiosity has taken the form of this normalising surgical interventions, repeated clinical examinations among medical photographs, in which people’s bodies are reduced to the kind of source of information and an object of fascination. And this goes hand in hand with the kind of dis-attention for people’s lived experiences. And so this was why I in fact, wanted to focus on people’s lives and young people’s lived experiences.”
