Foreign Body

By Katie Gene Friedman

FOREIGN BODY is an odyssey of gynecological misadventures, exploring what a sexual and reproductive future looks like for a retrofitted body.

In her essay Foreign Body, Katie Gene Friedman takes the reader on an odyssey of gynecological misadventures, exploring what a sexual and reproductive future looks like for her retrofitted body, as she navigates the absurdities of gender roles, religion, and the healthcare system.

"So long as my vag works, I can pass for normal, I'd thought. I could be normal, more or less, since a woman's body is her net worth. If my uterus contains a pre-human, I'm not dead yet, was my new rationale."
