PDF-[DOWNLOAD]-Contesting Intersex: The Dubious Diagnosis (Biopolitics Book 10)

When sociologist Georgiann Davis was a teenager her doctors discovered that she possessed XY chromosomes marking her as intersex Rather than share this information with her they withheld the diagnosis in order to protect the development of her gender identity it was years before Davis would see her own medical records as an adult and learn the truth Davis experience is not unusual Many intersex people feel isolated from one another and violated by medical practices that support conventional notions of the malefemale sex binary which have historically led to secrecy and shame about being intersex Yet the rise of intersex activism and visibility in the US has called into question the practice of classifying intersex as an abnormality rather than as a mere biological variation This shift in thinking has the potential to transform entrenched intersex medical treatmentIn Contesting Intersex Davis draws on interviews with intersex people their parents and medical experts to explore the oftquestioned views on intersex in medical and activist communities as well as the evolution of thought in regards to intersex visibility and transparency She finds that framing intersex as an abnormality is harmful and can alter the course of ones life In fact controversy over this framing continues as intersex has been renamed a disorder of sex development throughout medicine This happened she suggests as a means for doctors to reassert their authority over the intersex body in the face of increasing intersex activism in the 1990s and feminist critiques of intersex medical treatment Davis argues the renaming of intersex as a disorder of sex development is strong evidence that the intersex diagnosis is dubious Within the intersex community though disorder of sex development terminology is hotly disputed some prefer not to use a term which pathologizes their bodies while others prefer to think of intersex in scientific terms Although terminology is currently a source of tension within the movement Davis hopes intersex activists and their allies can come together to improve the lives of intersex people their families and future generations However for this to happen the intersex diagnosis as well as sex gender and sexuality needs to be understood as socially constructed phenomena A personal journey into medical and social activism Contesting Intersex presents a unique perspective on how medical diagnoses can affect lives profoundly. liutorontoca Abstract A biopolitics of the population when it succeeds in securing life and wellbeing is surely worth having It has become urgent in rural Asia where a new round of enclosures has dispossessed large numbers of people from access to la questionable. syn. : skeptical; cynical. ant: certain; cocky; gullible; inevitable.

Dubious Equalities and Embodied Differences explores cosmetic surgery as a cultural phenomenon of late modernity. From its onset as a medical specialty at the end of the nineteenth century, cosmetic surgery has been intimately liked to discourses of \'normalcy, \' as well as to gender, race, and other categories of difference that have shaped its technologies and techniques, its professional ideologies, and the objects of its interventions. Davis considers how cosmetic surgery is taken up in representations of cosmetic surgery in medical discourse and in popular culture, drawing on a wide range of cultural manifestations including televised \'infotainment, \' popular music, performance art, surgeon biographies, stories of patients, public debates, and medical texts. Davis critically engages with the notion of cosmetic surgery as a neutral technology and shows how it is implicated in the surgical erasure of embodied differenc First Published in 1992.
