Georgiann Davis (Sociology) recently published a co-authored, peer-reviewed article in the highly regarded journal . The article, "Giving Sex: Deconstructing Intersex and Trans Medicalization Practices," examines the different ways in which medical providers approach and treat intersex patients as compared to trans patients. Davis and her co-authors argue these medical practices reflect the heteronormative belief that one’s sex, gender, and sexuality are each correlated with one another and biologically determined. The study is based on interviews with medical providers who treat intersex patients, as well as interviews with medical providers who treat trans patients.
