Jemma Tosh examina críticamente los marcos psicológicos utilizados para comprender y categorizar el género humano, la sexualidad y el comportamiento. Su trabajo profundiza en las formas en que estas categorías son construidas y cómo dan forma a las experiencias individuales y las percepciones sociales. Tosh desafía las narrativas psicológicas convencionales, revelando las ideologías subyacentes y las dinámicas de poder que influyen en la patologización de la violencia sexual y las identidades transgénero. Su investigación busca ofrecer una comprensión más matizada de estos complejos aspectos de la experiencia humana.
