abstract = "This chapter discusses the purpose, process, and implications of body normalization in the United States. It traces the intricate link between tenets of conservative Christianity and homophobia/transphobia. Foucault{\textquoteright}s theories present a means to analyze modes of internalized bodily normalization. There is a critique of forced conformity prior to being validated as moral citizens. Research partners{\textquoteright} recollections of gender performativity, segregation, normalization, and gender role conformity congeal to instantiate the deep-seeded pain and strife that they experienced as young children in school.",
