Lateline - 11/5/2000: Beauty Quest. Australian Broadcasting Corp Anne Fausto-Sterling is professor of biology and women's studies at Brown University in Rhode Island. ANNE FAUSTO-STERLING: Well, I think that there's a lot in the field of evolutionary psychology that is an argument, is a very direct argument against feminism. ANNE FAUSTO-STERLING: Well, first of all, what Nancy just said makes perfect sense, but needn't rely on a theory of natural selection to come to her conclusion. www.abc.net.au /lateline/archives/s125924.htm   (2656 words)

Sep 29- Myths of Gender Anne Fausto-Sterling looks at the research used in these types of articles - gene and brain research, evolutionary theories, or hormonal differences between men and women and she concludes that none of the research done looks at all the factors. Anne Fausto-Sterling did a good job of presenting all the theories. She also did a good job of explaining the biology behind the theories, so that even someone who had never taken a biology course could have read this book and understood the biology behind the theories, and why the terminology and conclusions they make aren't necessarily accurate. www.cs.hmc.edu /~kknudtzo/gender/sep29.html   (720 words)

NOVA Transcripts Sex: Unknown PBS ANNE FAUSTO-STERLING: I think she was faced with an extreme situation, that there were no resources available to her to figure out what would be the best thing to do. ANNE FAUSTO-STERLING: This established sex difference in the brain is an anatomical difference, and quite frankly no one knows what it means in terms of behavior. ANNE FAUSTO-STERLING: I think that John Money's reasons for why the case might have failed are potentially legitimate reasons. www.pbs.org /wgbh/nova/transcripts/2813gender.html   (5562 words)

Advocate, The: In the realm of the sexes - biologist Anne Fausto-Sterling believes there are actually five distinct genders - Brief Article Anne Fausto-Sterling suggests that instead of conforming to the draconian rule of two genders, we now play with a full deck of five. But according to Anne Fausto-Sterling--professor of biology at Brown University, historian of science, social theorist, and life partner of playwright Paula Vogel--we still have a long way to go. The answer may not be as easy as you think, Many individuals do not conform to strict anatomic and genetic definitions of male and female, Sometimes chromosomes do not "match" genitalia, and 4% of births are "intersexual"--both male and female organs are present in some variety of developmental state. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1589/is_2000_March_14/ai_60021921   (1015 words)

The Journal of Sex Research: How common is intersex? A response to Anne Faus... @ HighBeam Research Anne Fausto-Sterling's suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. In her 1993 essay, biologist Anne Fausto-Sterling acknowledged that "it is extremely difficult to estimate the frequency of intersexuality" (Fausto-Sterling, 1993, p.

Untitled Document In the work of developmental biologist Anne Fausto-Sterling, for instance, serious research, uninformed claims, and political paranoia take turns, depending on the subject. Scientifically, her critiques of sociobiology and evolutionary pychology (Fausto-Sterling 1992, 1997, 2000a) can, I think, safely be ignored. Anne Campbell (2002), David Geary (1998), and Linda Mealey (2000) are among the few authors who show us what an integrated approach to the study of gender difference might look like. www.evoyage.com /FeministAcctsGender.htm   (2506 words)

WITI - Anne Fausto-Sterling Anne Fausto-Sterling is an excellent pioneering role model for women in science and technology, for she always challenges us to go beyond the "famous woman" approach to develop a non-sexist philosophy of science."

Engendering Differences: Ethical Issues about Intersex In 1993, biologist Dr Anne Fausto-Sterling published in the journal The Sciences a provocative and somewhat tongue-in-cheek essay, "The Five Sexes," that challenged the traditional dichotomous model of human sex and sexuality. By Anne Fausto-Sterling, PhD, Brown University Medical School In addition to the existence of females and males, she proposed that there existed "herms" (named after true hermaphrodites, who have both a testis and an ovary), "ferms" (female pseudohermaphrodites--people born with ovaries and some expression of male genitalia), and "merms" (male pseudohermaphrodites, people with testes and some expression of female genitalia). xnet.kp.org /permanentejournal/Fall01/ethics.html   (1687 words)

The Connection.org : The Science and Culture of Gender What Anne Fausto-Sterling objected to, and still objects to, is the either/or dualism we use to parse the world.

Amazon.com: Books: Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality Anne Fausto-Sterling's account of all genders and sexes (not just male/female, but everything in between) provides a humanitarian outlook which demonstrates just how far our culture will go to enforce gender dichotomies. Anyone who has been following the new brain science in the popular press--and even those whose casual reading includes journals along the lines of Psychoneuroendocrinology--will be fascinated by the puckish observations of Brown University biologist Anne Fausto-Sterling, whose provocative and erudite essays easily establish the cultural biases underlying current scientific thought on gender. She goes on to critique the science itself, exposing inconsistencies in the literature and weaknesses in the rhetorical and theoretical structures that support new research. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0465077137?v=glance   (2458 words)

Gender Politics, Construction: a review of “Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality” by Anne Fausto-Sterling. Review by Bill Moraga. If you’ve asked yourself these questions for any reason, Anne Fausto-Sterling should be on your bookshelf. How can we dismiss as too troublesome either the physical or emotional/mental realities of those individuals who aren’t simply a straight man or a straight woman, when it becomes increasingly clear that it is the system, not the individual, that is defective? When you sit down with Sexing the Body, be prepared to think hard about your gender identity and the assumptions you make about others. www.soapboxgirls.com /jul02/reviews/sexing.html   (634 words)

transX - Bücherdetails But, in fact, biologist and cultural critic Anne Fausto-Sterling shows in her brilliant and provocative new book that the answer to this seemingly basic question is more complex than we realize. In her probing critique of scientific, medical and popular understanding of sex, Fausto-Sterling uses an examination of research, medical practice and astonishing real-life cases to shake the very foundations of our ideas about sexual difference. Our automatic first question about a new baby reveals how profoundly we believe that sex difference is natural and inborn, and how fundamental sex is to our conception of human identity. www.transx.ch /books/boo_details.asp?ID=2   (360 words)

Fausto-Sterling.txt In this fascinating new book, Anne Fausto-Sterling describes these and many other troublesome issues that face our society when people refuse to fit the category of heterosexual man or heterosexual woman. Physicians, on the other hand, may well feel that society demands that children be either boys or girls and that the schoolyard will brutally punish any deviance from these categories. A scholarly book with more than 120 pages of notes, its 255 pages of text nevertheless read like a bestseller. www.stanford.edu /~dplatt/GVB/downloads/Fausto-Sterling.txt   (869 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Books: Myths of Gender: Biological Theories About Men and Women What is so worrying about Anne Fausto-Sterling's book is that she does not talk about errors in a distant past; the book provides a number of examples from the last three decades of how scientists draw conclusions with important political implications based on very weak scientific evidence. A biologist herself, Anne Fausto-Sterling was the right person to convince me it probably is. As her review shows, most studies suggesting a biological basis for gender differences are scientifically weak. Trained in biology, I have always had difficulties in accepting when feminist writers say gender is all about culture. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0465047920   (571 words)
