In this book, the author argues that even the most fundamental knowledge about sex is shaped by the culture in which scientific knowledge is produced. Drawing on real-life cases and an analysis of centuries of scientific research, Fausto-Sterling demonstrates how scientists have historically politicized the body. She breaks down three key dualisms -- sex/gender, nature/nurture, and real/constructed -- and asserts that individuals born as mixtures of male and female exist as one of five natural human variants and, as such, should not be forced to compromise their differences to fit a flawed societal definition of normality.
