| In the last two decades, intersex has been a boon for the most disparate theorizing on sex, gender, and sexuality--for both the biological determinists and the social constructionists, those claiming that sex/gender is strictly binary and those advocating its dissolution entirely. Yet reading the letters of those involved does lead to insights that material determinists have ignored, such as Sinke's observation that "people expected to select their own spouses" (89) and "they wanted to love the other person," (90) an ambition sometimes facilitated by correspondence. For biological determinists, the "self" is reduced to a complex array of electro-chemical events; we are neurologically programmed with impulses to do certain things and avoid others. |
