ITHACA, NY--An expert on intersex—an individual displaying both male and female sexual characteristics—will speak at Ithaca College on Thursday, Feb. 15. Alison Redick will discuss “Intersexed Subjects of Desire: Intersex, Gender, and the Medical Parameters of Desire” at 7 p.m. in Klingenstein Lounge, Egbert Hall. Her presentation is free and open to the public.
An assistant professor of women’s studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Redick conducts research on the history of science and medicine; feminist theory and epistemology; the American eugenics movement; and representations of race, gender and sexuality. She is currently completing a book based on her dissertation, “American History XY: The Medical Treatment of Intersex, 1916–1955.” The dissertation examines the history of the emerging category of the intersexed person in the first half of the 20th century, focusing on the codification of surgical and psychiatric practices at Johns Hopkins University in the 1950s.
Redick co-edited and contributed to a collection of essays on AIDS activism entitled “Policing Public Sex: Queer Politics and the Future of AIDS Activism.” At Hobart and William Smith Colleges, she teaches a variety of women’s studies courses, including Politics of Health, Feminist Theory, and Feminism and Science. She has given talks and lectures in diverse venues, including Cardozo Law School, the European Social Science and History Conference and the Center for the Humanities at Wesleyan University.

IMO, the last thing Intersexes need is some leftist maniac politicizing their condition.

My only question: How did Cornell miss hiring this one?

Looks as though she might be an "expert" on that subject.
Dear God, you people are a bunch of Dark-Age dwellers. You know absolutely nothing about this subject, but you are more than willing to bray your ignorant comments to the world at large.
Damn, but this forum has gone downhill since I joined eight years ago.

Itha Ca-Ca-Complete abomination? Excuse me, asshat, but perhaps you ought to get a clue. Being intersex is a biological deformity in which a person has sex organs which are not clearly either male or female.
What other types of physical deformity is it ok to make fun of?

What you are witnessing is a mentality that never advanced beyond grade school. Basically these are the same folks that tripped the kid on crutches and then laughed at him.

At first glance I thought it was a man, but it's not!
Unless his daddy named him Alison.

These are exactly the types of kids that parents protect their kids from.
It's one thing to have a little fun and games, but's gone way overboard here.
There's too many jackasses on this board.
