Sexual citizenship is often used to enforce gender and sexual norms, to help construct the “Other,” and as a tool for national security.

This paper found unequal access to IVF based on color, class, and sexual orientation. The second paper explores gender from a feminist theoretical standpoint. Mainly, this examines how …
