FreeEssays.cc: Intersexuality And Scripture

    AS a brute physical phenomenon, the bodiliness of people like us who are born intersexed challenges cherished assumptions about sex and gender made by many people within Western society.

    A variety of social institutions, including the dominant canons of medical practice and conceptions, much of the domain of the law itself, and some of the religious teachings which have loomed so large in the history of the West, tend strongly to support the notion that sex and gender is a dichotomy, and that any given human being is either determinately and unequivocally male or determinately and unequivocally female.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
