Considered aspects of the debates around the representation of the human body and its use as an instrument of expression and transgression
The human body is subject to both praise and transgression. The contention depends on the various societal perception on the sex, physical and mental stability of a person (Baldwin 317). The named aspects are considered to be the root to all innuendos directed to the human body. Human rights activists and other interested stakeholders closely monitor how the communities treat the weaker gender or the underprivileged handicapped people in the society.
In terms of gender, many societies approve men to play the dominant role. The collective ideology gave men power over their counterparts. Women play a submissive role and occasionally fall victims of oppression and transgression. Over the decades, women have failed to voice their expression or give a sense of direction on vital issues that take place within the community. The concept of insignificance on women deterred their growth and activism in the society. Therefore, sex is a disputable criterion used to distinguish judge and prescribe the degree of freedom given to a particular human body. Despite the traditions, women in the modern world are becoming more vocal in claiming their significance in the man-dominated world.
Physical and mental deformation is another concept that threatens the degree of expression and acceptance. Many of the handicapped people are victims of psychological torture, detachment from the society and violation of human rights.

Therefore, deformation is another variable worth the debate on how the human body expresses itself. In many cases, the society would ignore the needs of handicapped victims or simply violate their rights. Parents would disown their deformed children by failing to give them the care they deserve. In turn, these victims will lack the confidence to appreciate their existence and role in this world.
Despite the aspects, it is imperative for the society to understand that people do not chose the structures of their human body (Baldwin 375). Therefore, the debate on expression and transgression of the human body is unwarranted.
