Castration and Liberation

There is always a need to inquire as a human trait, but sometimes this necessity to understand everything can led us to misunderstand all the answers. Sedgwick claims that there is a "medicalized dream of the prevention of gay bodies" (26). This claim illustrates the need to believe all is essentialist and science is able to give factual explanations. On the other hand, we have Loon saying that, "the joy of the castrated boy is that which the initially dreaded: to be mistaken for someone that you are" (53). Both authors accept in a way that culture plays a role no matter what.
Castration could be seen as a way of how people try to reach a status or a way to scare little kids from being "deviant." The physical body has obtained such importance that people actually use it in order to reaffirm themselves and make others perceive them as they want to. It does not matter if the reason of physical alteration, sexual desire or inclination is generated by our biology or culture. What really matters is how people at the end permit others to limit their way of living and make them push boundaries to reach the image they want others to perceive even if what we are supposed to believe is that what really matters rely in our interior. At the end, people need to do what they feel as the best in order to live fully and be happy with themselves.
