The notion that sexual difference is fundamental to culture, for instance, which became something like a structuralist truth that survives in Lacanian discourse today, has a way of making sure we consider as unintelligible forms of sexual differentiation that do not conform to the ‘sexual difference’ at hand. Thus, I wonder whether we can even begin to think transgender and intersex within such a restrictive framework.<\/p>\n

The point is not to argue that there are more than two sexes<\/strong>, but that we do not know that cultural variations differences may take<\/strong>. There are not only important overlaps between the sexes, but people don’t always stay with the sex to they have been assigned. Moreover, if we take sexual difference to be a foundation of culture, we can not ask how the assignment of sex — which is such a volatile political issue — takes place as a cultural practice. My view is that it is crucial to understand sex as assigned rather than assumed<\/strong>, and to recognize that these are systematically obscured by the presumption that sexual difference is a condition of every and all culture (13).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
