Often, doctors and parents decide to do surgery soon after birth, and in many cases administer hormones, to make intersex children fit into male\/female categories. Intersex is treated as a medical problem- their physiologies are quickly dismissed as impossible, freakish, or even monstrous.\u003cbr\u003eHermaphrodite Logic places the sexually indeterminate at the centre, for a change. Jules Joanne Gleeson offers a fresh perspective for understanding, speaking of, and celebrating indeterminate lives. Rather than focus on 'ambiguity' (or its still vaguer variant, 'fluidity') Gleeson focuses on indeterminacy   the bodies, sentiments and experiences that can not be folded in two. The indeterminate cannot help but exist between categories. \u003cbr\u003eHermaphrodite Logic foregrounds the experiences of sexually indeterminate figures both current and historical, and seeks to build up a thoroughgoing case for our emancipation.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46643222479006,"sku":"UBD-9781839760938","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781839760938.jpg?v=1774484570","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781839760938","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
