Notes Introduction 1. John Money and Anke Ehrhardt, Man and Woman Boy and Girl: The Differentiation and Dimorphism of Gender Identity from Conception to Maturity (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1972), 9. 2.

I refer here to the late David Reimer, whom Money recommended be reassigned and reared as a girl following the loss of his penis after a botched circumcision when he was an infant. See Bernice Hausman, “Do Boys Have to Be Boys? Gender, Narrativity, and the John/Joan Case,” NWSA Journal 12, no. 3 (2000): 114–138. 4. Perhaps the most public of those attacks was that of Rolling Stone jour- nalist John Colapinto. See John Colapinto, As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl (Sydney: Harper Collins, 2000). 5. Refer to “Notes on terminology and definitions” for an explanation of this hyphenation. 6. Money on the other hand has acknowledged—however disapprovingly—the ways in which feminism impacted on his theories of gender. 7. This is not to suggest that gender ceased to be a language tool but rather that its conceptual load increased exponentially when it became the signifier of characters, behaviors, and identities as masculine or feminine. 8. Natural gender, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a feature of modern English where “nouns are masculine, feminine or neuter according as the objects they denote are male, female, or of neither sex; and the gender of a noun has no other syntactical effect than that of determining the pronoun that must be used in referring to it” http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50093521?query_type=word& queryword=gender, s.v. GENDER n. 2. 9. Hausman’s exacting reading of the early work of Money serves as a foundation for some of the key arguments made in Chapters 1 and 3 198 Notes (Bernice Hausman, Changing Sex: Transsexualism, Technology and the Idea of Gender [Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1995], 72–109). 10.

Mandy Merk, Naomi Segal, and Elizabeth Wright (Oxford: Blackwell, 1998), 36–73. 11. Donna Haraway correctly attributes the introduction of the term “gen- der identity” to Stoller (ca.1963) but incorrectly situates Money’s project as successive to Stoller’s. See Donna Haraway, Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (New York and London: Routledge, 1991). 12.

While many of these cultural critiques of intersex case management (ICM) assume the sex/gender distinction, there are those who draw attention to the theoretical dangers of doing so (see Anne Fausto- Sterling, Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sex- uality [New York: Basic Books, 2000]; Hausman, Changing Sex). In short, when sex is relegated to nature as “real” and gender to culture as “constructed,” the material construction of “sex” realized through the reconfiguration and/or removal of body parts becomes obscured. 15.

Teratology emerged as a field in the early nineteenth century and was a precursor to the field of embryology. Teratology’s concern was the study of “monstrosities.” 200 Notes 18. Eighteenth-century physician James Parsons included a review of his- torical, cultural, and religious responses to the “otherly” sexed in his treatise on hermaphroditism, many of which involved ritual sacrifice (James Parsons, A Mechanical and Critical Enquiry into the Nature of Hermaphrodites [London: Printed for J. Walthoe, 1741]). 19. Epstein, “Either/Or,” 116. 20. Here I am referring to L/G/B/T organizations and Web sites and queer studies, in particular. 21.
