 The way Mairs experiences her body is formed in relation to normalizing discourses in which the “crippled” body, in particular the “desiring crippled body”, is banished to the realm of the rejected, often unthinkable, other. The blossoming of the aesthetic surgery industry amongst women, and increasingly men, is a consequence of an increasingly narrow set of bodily morphologies being accepted as attractive and desirable, Moreover these morphologies are usually of young bodies. This fuels the demand for body modification of aging bodies. (Alsop and Lennon 2018; Dolezal 2015; Gilman 1999; Heyes and Jones 2009).
