| 1. Visit the website of the Intersex Society of North America at http://www.isna.org.
What does intersex mean? How does this alter the understanding of the relationship between gender and sex that you learned about in this chapter? Can you identify aspects of the moral stance of this Society that may be culturally specific? 2. Visit and read this website (http://community.middlebury.edu/~moss/RGC.html) about the gay movement in Russia. Read the site on the movement's history. Pay attention to how the gay movement history in Russia may be similar or different to the gay movement in the United States. How does this historical account highlight the relationship between people's sexuality and the state? What is the relationship between the state and gender policies more generally? In this chapter you learned that gender is culturally constructed. This is true not just of males and females, but also other sexual identities. Can you identify specific examples of from this case? |
