Resisting and Remaking Sex in the Petri Dish, the Clinic, and on the Track
Assemblages of sex are continuously being enacted by policymakers, scientists, and medical providers across a range of settings, resulting in multiple and often contradictory notions of what “sex” is and how it is expressed in the body. As feminist scholars have shown, such enactments are mutable yet resilient, often with the net effect of restricting how “sex” can emerge as a material dimension of our embodied, lived experiences. What happens wh…

Sensing Race as a Ghost Variable in Science, Technology, and Medicine
Ghost variables are variables in program languages that do not correspond to physical entities. This special issue, based on a panel on “Race as a Ghost Variable” at the 2017 Meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science, traces ideas of “race” in particular niches of science, technology, and medicine where it is submerged and disavowed, yet wields power. Each paper is a case study exploring ghosts that emerge through the resonance among t…
Testosterone
Testosterone is neither the biological essence of manliness nor even the "male sex hormone." It doesn't predict competitiveness or aggressiveness, strength or sex drive. Rebecca Jordan-Young and Katrina Karkazis pry testosterone loose from more than a century of misconceptions that undermine science while making social fables seem scientific
The Powers of Testosterone
Using strategies from critical race studies and feminist studies of science, medicine, and the body, we examine the covert operation of race and region in a regulation restricting the natural levels of testosterone in women athletes. Sport organizations claim the rule promotes fair competition and benefits the health of women athletes. Intersectional and postcolonial analyses have shown that "gender challenges" of specific women athletes engage r…
Health Beliefs and Practices in an Isolated Polygamist Community of Southern Utah
Emotionally and cognitively informed consent for clinical care for differences of sex development
Clinicians who utilise recommended best practices for informed consent may be surprised that families in support groups frequently report that some physicians continue to recommend certain irreversible treatments for children with differences of sex development (DSD) without adequate psychosocial support for cognitive processing of information necessary to decision-making. Such practice is contrary to recommendations in the 2006 Consensus Stateme…
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…
Framing Nicotine Addiction as a “Disease of the Brain”
OBJECTIVES: influences on substance use and abuse (e.g., peer and family influence, socioeconomic status) are well documented, biomedical intervention is becoming increasingly technoscientific in nature. We wish to elucidate how emphasizing biological influences on substance use may lead to a vision of addiction as a phenomenon isolated within our bodies and neurochemistry, not lived daily within a complex social web of relationships and a partic…
Looking at and talking about genitalia
[Graphic][1] The papers in this issue by Wall and Howath and colleagues provide a much-needed focus on the ways in which images of genitalia carry implicit messages about what is normative and thus acceptable ( see articles on pages 75 and 80 ).1 2 By construing the normal and abnormal, these authors argue, genital images shape self-perception and social attitudes about genitalia and, in so doing, the extent to which physicians and women problema…
Fixing Sex
Policing the Borderlands of Normal
Every few years, the attempt to surgically separate conjoined twins becomes a national, even international, media event. Underlying the fanfare is our voyeuristic curiosity about atypical bodies, a curiosity satisfied when the press and the hospitals where the surgery occurs publicize the lives and anatomies of the conjoined twins in extraordinary detail. Aside from supplying photos and life histories of the twins, a roster of the medical team (s…
