Robinson, Matthew P (2000). Unspoken Assumptions: A Cross-Cultural Examination of Sexual Abiguity. Lambda Alpha Journal, 30, 28-41. PDF Download. This paper focuses on the issue of "sexually ambiguous" individuals - that is, those who exhibit traits that are neither exclusively female nor male - and the problems associated with their existence within a sexually dimorphic cultural context. It examines studies that investigate various innovations in Sambian, Indian, Navajo, Omani, and Samoan cultures that actively incorporate sexual ambiguity into their respective social and cultural systems. Specifically, it describes the nature of the social interactions, cultural significance, and adaptive strategies of these groups in relation to the respective cultural frameworks within which they exist. Looking at cultures whose constructions of sexuality acknowledge (and therefore legitimize) the existence of sexual ambiguity with the incorporation of a third sex class, this paper also discusses alternatives to the binary Western model of human sexuality... With many heated debates currently surrounding Western social policy issues such as civil rights protections for sexually diverse peoples, samesex marriages, and demographic reporting techniques such as the United States Census, the study of sexual ambiguity is especially relevant. Considering alternative models of sexual identity and classification provides us the opportunities to reconsider the implications of differential treatment towards sexually ambiguous and divergent peoples in Western society, to reevaluate and potentially redefine Western cultural assumptions about sexual "normalcy" and "deviance," and to renew our commitment to embracing human diversity.

The binary gender: a constructed phenomenon.  - What’s the big deal about gender? – Female Identity as Intersex (2010): A U.N. report by Finnish international law professor and United Nations Special Rapporteur, Martin Scheinin, says, “gender is not synonymous with women, and, instead, encompasses the social constructions that underlie how women’s and men’s roles, functions and responsibilities, including in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity, are understood.” The report stresses “gender is not static; it is changeable over time and across contexts.” - New UN Report Pushes Gender as a Social Construct not Based in Nature (2009). - IWF in the News: UN Report Says 'Gender Is Not Static, It Is Changeable'. -  The Report: Protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism. - Transgender People Face Violence, Obstacles (2007).

Breaking out of Binaries:  Reconceptualizing Gender and its Relationship to Language in Computer-Mediated Communication - by  Michelle Rodino (1997). - Facets - An Introduction to Dress and Gender: "Although the concept of multiple genders may seem alien to some cultures that lack the linguistic capacity to describe them, in many societies this is not the case. But are gender categories even necessary? Why must one become a fa'afafine in order to perform "women's work"? What is "women's work"? "Men's work"? Are words such as transgender, transsexual, transvestite, hermaphrodite and berdache accurate descriptions of who we are? Or are they just convenient (or in some cases, derogatory) categories for containing the unknown?" - Policy: Equitable Child Welfare Services Relating to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity/Expression (Children's Aid Society of Toronyo): Backgrounder on Gender Diversity (2008). Review (2009): We're all intersex: The author of "Between XX and XY" on people born neither male nor female -- and why everyone's a little bit of both. - Intersex: The space between the genders (2007): The West defines gender in two distinct categories. But gender may be a spectrum. Why does society, and even science, struggle to understand and accept those who are somewhere between male and female?

Undoing Gender (Deutsch, 2007): "Doing Gender," the groundbreaking article by Candace West and Don Zimmerman, appeared in the first issue of Gender & Society in 1987. Arguably one of the most important writings in the contemporary study of gender, "Doing Gender" has been cited 634 times, including 60 times in 2005 alone ... West and Zimmerman argued that gender is not something we are, but something we do. Gender must be continually socially reconstructed in light of "normative conceptions" of men and women. People act with the awareness that they will be judged according to what is deemed appropriate feminine or masculine behavior. These normative conceptions of men and women vary across time, ethnic group, and social situation, but the opportunity to behave as manly men or womanly women is ubiquitous. Thus, gender is an ongoing emergent aspect of social interaction... - An evolutionary perspective of sex-typed toy preferences: pink, blue, and the brain (2003). - Was pink originally the color for boys and blue for girls? (2008). - Learning gender in primary school playgrounds: findings from the Tomboy Identities study (2006).

"Doing Gender": The impact and future of a salient sociological concept (Messerschmidt, 2009): "Doing Gender" was one of the conceptual breakthroughs that compellingly responded to this theoretical impasse and considerably influenced feminist theory worldwide. The concept of "doing gender" was supported and confirmed during twenty years of intense sociological scrutiny and substantial cogent research. Not surprisingly, this concept became, and remains, immensely salient in sociology, gender studies, and feminist theory. Over the last eight years my research on "doing gender" has concentrated primarily on white working-class violent and non-violent teenage boys and girls (Messerschmidt, 2000, 2004). Through life-history interviews, I uncovered detailed accounts of gender interaction in three distinct "sites": the family, the school, and the peer group. This research validates the social processes involved in "doing gender." - Gender performativity (Wikipedia). - When Gender Isn't a Given (2004). - Building Boxes and Policing Boundaries: (De)Constructing Intersexuality, Transgender and Bisexuality (2008). - Dismantling the Gender Binary System (2009).

Out/Performing Our Selves: Sex, Gender and Cartesian Dualism (Wilton, 2000): Elements of feminist and queer theories and of phenomenology are used to engage with Cartesian dualism, in order to clarify the political implications of medicalized male-to-female (MTF) discourses. Particular attention is paid to descriptions of MTF as being in the `wrong' body. The author argues that this idea depends on a `shallow' model of corporeality, and suggests that a chronotopic model, by which the body is conceptualized as a process existing in both time and space, is more useful in counter-hegemonic theory. - Welcoming Dialogue: A Further Response to Out/Performing Our Selves (Hird, 2002).

Manning E (2009). Queerly Disrupting Methodology. Paper presented at the Celebrating Graduate Scholarship Conference, University of Victoria, Victoria, Canada. PDF Download. Download Page. Beginning: Dichotomous thinking infuses numerous research methodologies, limiting what is allowed to exist. These ways of thinking and being negate queer existences because those who identify as queer live beyond the binaries of sex, gender and sexuality. Thus, queer methodologies are vital for exposing hegemonic linear ways of being and thinking that analyze, categorize and psychiatrize those outside of such polarized identities. My goal is not to delimit what a queer methodology is, but rather to add to the discussion regarding ontology and epistemology and how this may shift our gaze in a queer research inquiry. I argue queer methodologies provide space for the multiplicity of strangeness to exist as their disruption of normalcy and Otherness (Kumashiro 1999) is explicitly political. Queer methodologies deconstruct truth claims, question dualistic ontology and queer straight lines... Concluding: Although I do not make the argument for a specific queer methodology, I wish to contribute to the on-going conversation regarding queer methodologies. It is imperative that the ontology of researcher and research project question modernist ideas based on binary understandings. Embedded in research methodologies and methods are dichotomies of all kinds: homo/hetero, man/woman, female/male and insider/outsider, which need to be problematized as they simplify and erase the plurality we exist in. By deconstructing these binary notions, we call into being multiple existences previously rendered deviant or invisible. Resisting solidification of a queer approach to methodology is also important. By allowing disorientation, contradiction and plurality to exist within research, queer methodology remains reflexive through continually challenging its own character.

Androgyny and Gender Dialetics (1997): "One of the biggest and most prevalent mistakes in Western Culture is the idea that there exist two separate and "opposite" genders, masculinity and femininity. This gender dualism is not only false and without any factual or scientific support, but also very harmful. One strategy to overcome this wrongness is the idea of androgyny, by which masculinity and femininity are not conceived as opposite ends of one spectrum, but as two separate spectrums: you can be or have both at once (or neither), not only the one or the other." - What is Gender? - Swinburne's Philosophy of Androgyny. - Androgyne: The Union of Opposites Within (Alternate Link). - The Amazon Connection. - Gender Gallery.

Culture, sexual lifeways, and developmental subjectivities: rethinking sexual taxonomies (1998, Social Research): "In the twenty years since the first English translation of Foucault's (1980[1978]) History of Sexuality, Volume 1, sexual categories have become conceptually and ideologically suspect. Building on Foucault's post-structural critique of sexual ideas and discourses, lesbian, gay, and feminist theorists have repeatedly contested the essential, intrinsic, or universal character of sexual identities." - Is Gender Identity Disorder in Children a Mental Disorder? (Sex Roles) "Because of flaws in the DSM-IV definition of mental disorder, and limitations of the current research base, there is insufficient evidence to make any conclusive statement regarding children who experience discomfort with their biological sex. The concluding recommendation is that, given current knowledge, the diagnostic category of GID in children in its current form should not appear in future editions of the DSM."

Profound and enduring change in how gender should be viewed and how difference should be respected will not occur without major alterations to what society teaches children."

Book Review. - Boy raised as a girl suffered final indignity (2004): "Most of David Reimer's tragedies have been well-documented: how his penis was burned off during a botched circumcision, how doctors tried surgery and hormones to make him a girl and how the experiment went horribly wrong.

If the book had raised many questions in my mind about issues of nurture versus nature, of sexuality and gender, my research raised many more. But, perhaps the most interesting questions were those raised by the case of hermaphroditism, or intersexuality. By exploring what I thought were extreme cases of sexual ambiguity, I discovered that there are plenty of opportunities in biological sexual development for the lines that divide male and female to become blurred, and still be considered normal..." - Is gender a social construct or a biological imperative? (2000) - Who Abused Jane Doe?: Case histories make contributions to science and practice, but they can also be highly misleading... Our analysis raises several general questions about the use of case histories in science, medicine, and mental health.

Latino Commission on AIDS: "The transgender community has been among the most affected communities when it comes to HIV/AIDS but we are often disregarded in the rush to address how AIDS impacts a specific community,” said Nora Molina, a Latina transsexual activist in a sentiment also shared by other participants.  “This is particularly neglectful considering that there is also no funding for research on HIV/AIDS in transgender or transsexual communities of color,” she added. - Being Transgender in the Latino Culture. - Latino AIDS Agency Evicted Because Transgender Clients Used ‘Wrong’ Bathroom, ACLU Charges in NY Lawsuit (2001).

Gender outlaws (2005): Transgender prisoners face discrimination, harassment, and abuse above and beyond that of the traditional male and female prison population... “There were a lot of queens in jail,” Mahan mentions offhandedly. Transgender and gender-variant people, as a population, are incarcerated at even higher rates than the general population of African American men, although the majority of those incarcerated are also people of color. In San Francisco, a 1997 study conducted by the city’s Department of Public Health found that 67 percent of MTF respondents and 30 percent of FTM respondents had a history of incarceration. Almost a third of MTF respondents had been jailed in the past year. The numbers are staggering: among U.S. adults, only 3 percent are or have been incarcerated. Overall, “unless they’re rich, [most transgender people have] spent a little time in jail,” says Judy Greenspan.

But this space is open for ALL people and Trans organizations who would like to take part of the discussion and decide the course of this page and possibly to integrate themselves to a world-wide federation materialized in ILGA. According to the agreement of the pre-conference during the World-wide Conference of ILGA in Geneva 2006, this site is made to tie all the Trans people and organizations around the world, through its 6 regions: North America; Latin America and the Caribbean; Africa; Europe; Asia; New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific islands (ANZAPI).

Review For Three Films (2009): The Aggressives. Directed by Daniel Peddle. Los Angeles: Seventh Art Releasing, 2005. Black and White. Directed by Kirsty MacDonald. New York: Women Make Movies, 2006.  Boy I Am. Directed by Sam Feder and Julie Hollar. New York: Women Make Movies, 2006... Each film provides complex representations of the experiences of gender-non-conforming, transgender, and intersex people in the United States and globally.  These films, when coupled with critical writing can begin rich conversations for the feminist classroom interested in interrogating the political, cultural, and visual dynamics of gender.  Far exceeding a “census model of gender designation,” The Aggressives, Boy I Am, and Black and White offer viable inroads to discussions on the varied landscape of gender as lived practice.

My work emerges from a tradition of photographing transgender and transsexual people, for example the work of Loren Cameron, Catherine Opie, and Del LaGrace Volcano.  However, I have moved beyond their work, through a methodology that involves collaboration, empowering the subject, and presenting the projection of the self from the participant's point of view... My study explores the first adaptation of photo-elicitation to be undertaken with transsexual people into their experiences of the relationship between gender, self-image, the body, and the social domain. This type of research in this kind of community has not been previously undertaken... 

Transgender and art in the school curriculum (2006): The intention of this paper is two-fold. First, it makes explicit a little known and poorly understood area of human experience: transgender. Second, it explores curriculum possibilities opened up by recent legitimating of transgender people through the Gender Recognition Act (2004). The Act foregrounds the necessity for a forum in schools to debate, reflect and understand the full implications of changes to legislation. This paper proposes that, rather than approaching transgender issues through biological science or through the levelling gaze of citizenship, issues of gender identity can be understood without censure through the visual arts. Moreover, the visual arts offer a 'safe place' to discuss issues around the body because they allow distance and, in offering visual representations rather than text-based work, make visually concrete what science ethically cannot.
