Abstract

The current societal approach to intersexuality is marked by its treatment as taboo. The catalogue wishes to counter the forced shaping of a dual-gendered system, which is based on treating intersexuality as both pathological and invisible. Utilizing a critique of the medical approach to intersexuality as their point of departure, the contributions underscore the importance of the production of alternative strategies of thought and action. The catalogue’s many and varied contributions offer not only substantiated information on the theme of intersexuality but also delivers important and invigorating thought-provoking impulses intending to make gender and sexual diversity viable.
