Sexing the Body

Explore the cultural origins of sexual identity in this brilliant and defiant book. Drawing on real-life cases and centuries of research, the author argues that scientific knowledge about sex is shaped by politics and cultural bias. She breaks down three key dualisms and asserts that individuals born as mixtures of male and female exist as one of five natural human variants. This thought-provoking read challenges societal norms and calls for greater acceptance and understanding of diversity.
