Intersex Surgery between the Gaze and the Subject
This essay critiques the practice of childhood genital surgery for intersex/disorders of sex development. The essay draws on the sociology of perception and poststructuralist theory (in particular Jacques Lacan) to analyze the subject position offered by surgery as a function of the impersonal gaze that precedes subjectivity. Even though early surgery appears to be justified on the basis that children have an innate need to see sexual difference …
Afterword
This afterword reflects on the essays collected in this special issue of *postmedieval*, which address the legacy of John Money's work on gender and sexuality. It considers the historical and ongoing significance of Money's concepts, particularly his notion of "lovemaps," and how they have been taken up, critiqued, and reinterpreted by scholars in various fields. The afterword emphasizes the importance of understanding Money's work within its spe…
Intersex
This section includes eighty-six short original essays commissioned for the inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Written by emerging academics, community-based writers, and senior scholars, each essay in this special issue, "Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a Twenty-First-Century Transgender Studies," revolves around a particular keyword or concept. Some contributions focus on a concept central to transgender studies; other…
The Injured World
In debates about the medical management of intersex, also known as "disorders of sex development," it is often assumed that morally good treatment can make patients, families, and doctors feel comfortable and, conversely, that morally bad treatment generates feelings of discomfort. Commentators and stakeholders diverge over definitions of good and bad treatment, but everyone wants to feel comfortable-whether with sexually ambiguous anatomies, inf…
Introduction
The paternalistic surgery-centered model of intersex treatment has been incisively critiqued in recent years. Feminist and antihomophobic analyses have shown how traditional medical protocols privilege male genitalia and heterosexual relationships, in particular through the assumption that penis-vagina penetration within the context of heterosexual marriage is proof positive of a successful surgical outcome. And queer analyses have begun to show …
What Can Queer Theory Do for Intersex
In this essay I explore how queer theory might account for postsurgical intersex bodies of diminished genital tactility. In other words, I evaluate whether a critique of surgery's effects is possible from a queer theoretical perspective on the body. I contend that for this purpose queer theory must do more than focus on bodily sensations such as pleasure, shame, and touching. The essay makes four key claims: first, that the desensitized postsurgi…
II. Intimate Violations
When Cheryl Chase founded the Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) in 1993 by publishing a letter in the journal Sciences inviting people with intersex anatomies to contact her, one of her key criticisms of unwanted cosmetic genital surgery was that it has been ‘immensely destructive of . . . one’s sense of bodily integrity’ (p. 3). Chase’s letter is viscerally persuasive, I think: it would seem to be common sense that the destruction of bodi…

Queer Theory
Queer Theory is one of the most contested and intellectually complex movements in contemporary sexual politics. Where did it come from, and what does it do? Is queer theory only for queers? If you have ever wanted to be a leather daddy, been puzzled by performativity, tried to measure bisexuality, or wondered whether Diana, Princess of Wales could be a gay icon, Queer Theory is required reading. This vibrant anthology of groundbreaking work by in…
