I would like to comment on the reading “Two sexes are not enough” By Ann Fausto-Sterling. I guess I found this reading particular interesting; because I did not know there were that many different classification of sex. I have heard of the hermaphrodite before, but I did not know in detail what it was. This reading helped me to define it. It also made me ponder the thought as to why we “have” to classify people that are born with “extra” parts right away. Like she mentioned in the book, as soon as someone is born with extra parts, they go to correct it. I mean I understand why, because if not that individual would most likely have an identity crisis. That is what our society has created, male or female. There is no in-between. Same with sexual preference; society created a heterosexual dominant world. I guess I think it is sad. Nobody wants to be different, however if they are, they should be able to be themselves without oppression, discrimination, stereotyping, etc. and be excepted for who they are.
