Develops the theory of gender by examining the workings of power at the most ""material"" dimensions of sex and sexuality. This work offers a reformulation of the materiality of bodies, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the ""matter"" of bodies, sex, and gender. It argues that power operates to constrain ""sex"" from the start.
