Does Menstrual Cycle Tracking Enhance Female Athlete Health and Performance? Evaluating Five Implicit Assumptions of an Emerging Paradigm
Exploring the Contributions of Gendered Social Factors to Sex Disparities in Adverse Drug Events
Investment Feminism and Women’s Health
In this article, we introduce the term “investment feminism” to characterize the phenomenon in which financial actors position investment as a powerful lever for advancing gender equity. As an analytical tool, investment feminism illuminates patterns and relations incompletely revealed by existing concepts such as commodity feminism and neoliberal feminism. We develop the concept of investment feminism through a close analysis of its role in the …
Contextualizing Population Genetic Models of Sex‐Biased Migration and Admixture
Models of sex‐biased migration or admixture in human history often use sex itself as the factor that controls the probability that an individual migrates. This modeling strategy unites work across a large range of times and populations, from Neanderthal archaic introgression to the consequences of colonialism. However, inferring the degree of sex bias in a migration event from a general model relies on the assumption that two equally sex‐biased e…
Sex in the medical machine
Machine learning offers new possibilities for developing more precise diagnostics and treatments, but the increasing use of sex stratification in precision medicine algorithms raises concerns. Using Alzheimer's disease (AD) research as an example in which machine learning approaches are applied to a heterogenous, socially patterned disease, this paper examines how the move toward sex-specific “pink” and “blue” algorithms reinforces biological sex…
Ask a Feminist
In this episode of Ask a Feminist, recorded in February 2022, Natali Valdez, Sarah Richardson, and Rene Almeling discuss questions of reproduction in the age of epigenetics. As a dialogue between scholars working in and across the fields of anthropology, history, sociology, gender studies, and science and technology studies, the conversation examines a variety of interdisciplinary dimensions of reproduction and epigenetics. Together, the authors …
The New Genetics of Sexuality
In 2019 a “genetic app” titled “How Gay Are You?” was published on GenePlaza (Maxmen 2019), immediately following the publication of a headline-making genetics study on same-sex sexual behavior (Ganna et al. 2019; Belluck 2019). In response to widespread outrage, the app was quickly discontinued (Bellenson 2019). But, rather than a rogue misapplication of responsible science—as the study's authors and others decried it—this debacle is emblematic …
Making a ‘sex-difference fact’
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2013 decision to lower recommended Ambien dosing for women has been widely cited as a hallmark example of the importance of sex differences in biomedicine. Using regulatory documents, scientific publications, and media coverage, this article analyzes the making of this highly influential and mobile 'sex-difference fact'. As we show, the FDA's decision was a contingent outcome of the drug approval proc…
A Gender Hypothesis of sex disparities in adverse drug events
How Cumulative Statistics Can Mislead
Overall, men have died from COVID-19 at slightly higher rates than women. But cumulative estimates of mortality by sex may be misleading. We analyze New York State COVID-19 mortality by sex between March 2020 and August 2021, demonstrating that 72.7% of the total difference in the number of COVID-19 deaths between women and men was accrued in the first seven weeks of the pandemic. Thus, while the initial surge in COVID-19 mortality was characteri…

The Tribes, the Centuries, and Romulus' Cavalry
It is generally accepted that the Tities, Ramnes, and Luceres were Rome's oldest tribes and that they provided three centuries of cavalry for Rome's earliest army. But this is to conflate two incompatible traditions. The Tities, Ramnes, and Luceres were tribes according to some, but centuries according to others. They were never both at the same time. This has consequences for the way in which Rome's cavalry was said to have originally been recru…
It's the mother
Research on the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) has traditionally focused on how maternal exposures around the time of pregnancy might influence offspring health and risk of disease. We acknowledge that for some exposures this is likely to be correct, but argue that the focus on maternal pregnancy effects also reflects implicit and deeply-held assumptions that 1) causal early life exposures are primarily transmitted via matern…
Plasticity and Programming
The new science of epigenetics has raised hopes for an embrace of greater plasticity and variation within the biology of sex, gender, and sexuality than previously appreciated. This essay describes and analyzes the integration of epigenetics research into the scientific study of core biological pathways related to sex, gender, and sexuality in the brain in the post–Human Genome Project era. Through a close reading of the primary scientific litera…

The Trustworthiness Deficit in Postgenomic Research on Human Intelligence
In the past, work on racial and ethnic variation in brain and behavior was marginalized within genetics. Against the backdrop of genetics’ eugenic legacy, wide consensus held such research to be both ethically problematic and methodologically controversial. But today it is finding new opportunistic venues in a global, transdisciplinary, data‐rich postgenomic research environment in which such a consensus is increasingly strained. The postgenomic …

This essay examines how the X became the “female chromosome” and how the association of the X with femaleness influences research questions, models, and descriptive language in human sex chromosome research. I trace how the X is gendered female in scientific and popular discourse; document the contingent technical, material, and ideological factors that led to the feminization of the X during the first decades of sex chromosome research; and trac…
