The Five Sexes: Why Make and Female are not Enough

I found this article interesting because it is about a subject that rarely gets discussed. In the U.S. mainstream society there are only two sexes which, according to Anne, defies nature. This article challenges the status quo and argues that sex is a continuum that does not conform to the binary system of the US.

Currently, 4% of the births in the US are intersexual. The infant usually always is medically treated for the biological defect. Anne presents this subject as if the doctors are medically policing the intersexual infants, forcing conformity into the binary sexual system. Anne doesn’t seem to object too much to this practice, but later in the article she explains that most intersexual beings do not want to be medically changed. They are more worried about developing some sort of aliment, or disease.
