| description | Although trans studies borrow concepts from men’s studies to reflect on trans masculinities, men’s studies show little interest in trans issues. This exclusion of trans people illustrates the larger problem of their exclusion from health research. Despite a growing literature on masculinity, health and bodybuilding, trans men’s relationships to bodybuilding and its role in the construction of their masculinity remain unexplored. While many studies on masculinity and bodybuilding rightly show that this practice serves hegemonic masculinity, I argue that this interpretation does not use an intersectional analysis that incorporates gender identity (transgender/cisgender) and exposes the heuristic value of trans theories for the sociologies of gender, health and sport in rethinking links between masculinity and bodybuilding. |
