Abstract
This collection of essays, Boys' Bodies: Speaking the Unspoken, delves into the social, psychological, and cultural mechanisms that bolster traditional masculine gender roles among boys and adolescents within school physical education environments, particularly gyms, sport arenas, and-especially pertinent to gay boys-the locker rooms. The contributors shed critical light on the subjugation of boys to disciplinary discourses and mechanisms while being sensitive to the misery inflicted on "sissy boys," whether they are gay or not.
