摘要

The medical community should expand its understanding of gender if it truly wants to helprnthe gender-atypical, says bio-ethicist Karkazis in Fixing Sex: Intersex, Medical Authority, and Lived Experience, which explores the complexities and arguments surrounding children born with "intersex" conditions - i.e., anatomy not identifiable as exclusively male or female.rnIn the 1950s, psychiatrist John Money began instructing doctors to examine any newborn who had atypically shaped genitalia and determine whether they most closely resembled those of a male child or female child. Whichever they seemed closest to was their "true" gender; the doctors should "assign" the child that gender and surgically reconstruct him or her accordingly. The parents would then raise the child as a normal boy or girl who knew nothing of his or her original condition. Money encouraged such surgeries even for some infants who were not born with atypical anatomy. David Reimer was one such case. He was born with normal genitals but suffered irreparable damage to them in a botched circumcision. On Money's advice, Reimer's parents had him reconstituted as a girl.
