Intersex
Intersex has been a topic of much discussion in courses on sex and gender in the academy. Much of this discourse has centred on the nature of intersex and how far it challenges the categories of sex and gender. As Emi Koyama and Lisa Weasel pointed out in 2002, this form of academic appropriation risks diverting attention from important \nsocial justice issues towards trivial or reductive theorising about social construction. Academic enquiries i…
The Paradox of Positionality
Wrestling with the desirability and possibility of research objectivity, scholars across disciplines debate the claim that there can ever be value-free research. While many sociocultural scholars defend and strive for research objectivity, feminists tend to reject such approaches and instead continue to call on scholars to position themselves in their research presentations and publications in relation to the topic being studied, and in the case …
Giving Sex
Although medical providers rely on similar tools to 'treat' intersex and trans individuals, their enactment of medicalization practices varies. To deconstruct these complexities, we employ a comparative analysis of providers who specialize in intersex and trans medicine. While both sets of providers tend to hold essentialist ideologies about sex, gender, and sexuality, we argue they medicalize intersex and trans embodiments in different ways. Pro…
Contesting Intersex
Winner, 2017 Sex and Gender Distinguished Book Award, presented by the American Sociological Association Winner, 2016 Donald Light Award for the Applied or Public Practice of Medical Sociology, presented by the American Sociological Association A personal, compelling perspective on how medical diagnoses can profoundly hurt, or help, the lived experiences of entire communities When sociologist Georgiann Davis was a teenager, her doctors discovered…
The power in a name
Soon after the disorders of sex development (DSD) terminology was introduced in the 2006 medical consensus statement on the management of intersex traits, intersexuality became an outdated term within medical discourse. Because of the way the DSD terminology was officially introduced by an international medical consortium, it appears individuals with intersex traits are left to engage with it. Interviews with thirty-seven research participants wi…
Anne Fausto‐Sterling's Sex/Gender
Increasing Representation, Maintaining Hierarchy
Despite increases in the number of women entering the medical profession during the past four decades, female medical students remain more likely than their male colleagues to enter less prestigious medical specialties. Data from the Association of American Medical College’s 2004 Graduation Questionnaire are used to test both supply- and demand-side explanations for this pattern among a recent cohort of graduating medical students. Controlling fo…
From sex roles to gender structure
This article has two goals, an intellectual history of gender as a concept and to outline a framework for moving forward theory and research on gender conceptualized as a structure of social stratification. The authors' first goal is to trace the conceptual development of the study of sex and gender throughout the 20th century to now. They do this from a feminist sociological standpoint, framing the question with particular concern for power and …
White Coats, Black Specialists? Racial Divides in the Medical Profession
This study assesses whether racialized patterns of medical specialization persist among a recent cohort of U.S. medical students. Data from the Association of American Medical College's 2004 Graduation Questionnaire (GQ), an annual survey of all graduating U.S. medical students, are employed to explore how factors internal and external to medical education influence specialization patterns among black and white medical school graduates. The data …
Out of Bounds? A Critique of the New Policies on Hyperandrogenism in Elite Female Athletes
In May 2011, more than a decade after the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) abandoned sex testing, they devised new policies in response to the IAAF's treatment of Caster Semenya, the South African runner whose sex was challenged because of her spectacular win and powerful physique that fueled an international frenzy questioning her sex and legitimacy to compete as female. Thes…
