Now updated with groundbreaking research, this award-winning classic examines the construction of sexual identity in biology, society, and history.
Why do some people prefer heterosexual love while others fancy the same sex? Is sexual identity biologically determined or a product of convention? In this brilliant and provocative audiobook, the acclaimed author of Myths of Gender argues that even the most fundamental knowledge about sex is shaped by the culture in which scientific knowledge is produced.
Drawing on astonishing real-life cases and a probing analysis of centuries of scientific research, Fausto-Sterling demonstrates how scientists have historically politicized the body. In lively and impassioned prose, she breaks down three key dualisms - sex/gender, nature/nurture, and real/constructed - and asserts that individuals born as mixtures of male and female exist as one of five natural human variants and, as such, should not be forced to compromise their differences to fit a flawed societal definition of normality.

(XY) (XX)
September 18th, 2023
@latt9292
also (XYY)
September 18th, 2023
@jeffrey2 - good point. But (XYY) is not a 3rd gender. (XYY) is a male with an extra chromosome.
September 18th, 2023
And XXY. Please understand that the ‘binary’ is a figment of imagination (and policies in education).

(XXY) is a male with an extra chromosome. Still two genders. Keep trying.

@latt9292: the world is not binary. Your logic would declare that 51% grey was just black.

It’s male and female, all else is either physiological variation on either theme, or psychological aberration.

hermaphroditism is a rare form of intersex anomaly where both male and female gonads are present.

Hate bursts your black and white bigoted ideology that has no basis in factual evidence or science but 1 in 1000 newborns are born with either both sets of genitals and are assigned surgically corrected at birth as to not tramatize the parents. The choice is at the very best a 50/50 guess. By adolescent and most often much earlier the it becomes apparent if the voice was the correct one. This is the medical condition that requires surgical correction that ignorant conservatives call child abuse and abomination etc. Like reproductive health they are quick to condemn and gnash their teeth until it’s their wife forced to carry to term a fetus with a malformed brain that will never know it’s alive or when it’s their child that was assigned the wrong sex at birth.

Sigh,
When I was a lad, people had sexes (use only one each).
Gender was a term used in Linguistics and Grammar.
It seems the two terms became conflated (or at least overlapped) some time when I wasn’t looking.
Was Gender mutated to mean the same as ’sex’ above, because at that time ’sex’ was culturally a ‘rude word’ (at least in the UK)

for ‘use’ read ‘usually’ in my last posting

Virgins should not talk about sex and gender.
People with rules about sex are almost always people who don’t get laid.

binary-centrics in shambles!! lol
thx for the upload

Even in hermaphroditism the person is one or the other with an underdevelopped opposite sex organ. They still primarily present as one sex or the other. Also intersex and hermaphrodites generally dislike their conditions being appropriated by the trans community. There’s male and female and then there are those who have a genetic or hormonal abnormality. There isn’t a third sex or third+ gender. Just male and female. As long as we’re human, that’s what it is, period.
