Little defines human life more than the biological sexes. The
concept of the binary sexes greatly affects our choices given in
society, our income, and our visibility. Moreover, it is also the
root for profound discrimination. Today, the idea that the binary
sexes are nature-given is so intrinsically woven into the fabric of
human life that we tend to forget just how modern the concept is.
We also tend to forget that it does not have to be more than a bump
on the path to a just society.
Drawing from philosophical, historical, and biological
perspectives, the author challenges existing beliefs in the
inevitability of the binary nature of the human sexes. The study
compellingly argues for the existence of many biological sexes, not
merely two. It also outlines just how otherwise overcome
assumptions still shape our seemingly modern understanding of the
most basic classification of our societies: that of the biological
sexes and the attributes piled upon them.
