Abstract
A fascinating paper on the genetic and chromosomal abnormality known as hermaphroditism. There are four types of hermaphroditism associated with ambiguous genitalia, however true hermaphroditism is very rare. This paper focuses on true hermaphroditism and the issues related to phenotypic features, molecular and genetic basis of the disease, parthenogenesis and disease management.
From the Paper
"This paper presents a brief yet comprehensive review of Hermaphroditism, a genetic disorder that affects the developing fetus in the womb, and is most often diagnosed in infants through the presentation of ambiguous genitalia; although many cases remain undiagnosed until adulthood when infertility problems surface. While true hermaphroditism is considered rare, most commonly, the presentation of ambiguous genitalia fall into four major subtypes (Al-Salem and Abusrair): female pseudohermaphroditism, male pseudohermaphroditism, mixed gonadal dysgenesis, and finally true hermaphroditism. Our discussion will focus on true hermaphroditism. Our presentation will be broken down into logical reporting sections that closely parallel the Clinical Case Studies section of the text, including Principles, Background, Major Phenotypic Features, Molecular Basis, followed by a brief presentation on the disease pathogenesis and a discussion on inheritance risk and disease management."

Abstract
This paper examines how "The Left Hand of Darkness" explores the inhabitants of the planet Winter, whose inhabitants are a race of hermaphrodites and how author Ursula K. LeGuin creates cultures that are as rich as our own. It discusses how the history, mythology and traditions of the people of the planet Winter make it easy to imagine what a world might be like that truly has no differences between the sexes. It analyzes how the tension created by the absence of gender roles makes us realize how much we unknowingly depend on them and how their removal is not enough to solve man's general dissatisfaction.
From the Paper
"The implications of Le Guin's story are numerous. For one, the reader is forced to examine a society free of gender stratification. Certainly the absence of gender roles eliminates the problems we currently face as a society with gender roles, but we soon see that other problems arise. For every problem absent because of no gender, another one is present to ensure the struggle of human beings. Le Guin shows the obvious benefits of gender-free society, but does not let the reader bask in the warmth of this pleasantry, for we see a society that is plagued by problems. Winter is immersed in a fierce political war - problems do not disappear with the removal of gender. "

Abstract
This paper explains that one of the most important theories posed by gender identity scholars is that the distinction of two sexes, male and female as well as the distinction of two genders, man and woman, is questionable. It points out that the existence of hermaphrodites and other bodies of indeterminate gender calls into question the bifurcation of gender, as well as the division of ?sex? into male and female categories. The writer also discusses how gender roles tend to be solidified fairly stringently in our culture along lines of male and female alone.
From the Paper
"Sex is a biological given. Some animal species have one sex, some have two, and some have more than two. This is interesting to scientists perhaps, in terms of its physical construction. However, gender is what culture ?does? with these distinctions of physiology. Gender is how culture interprets the apparent biological differences between particular human bodies of different sexual anatomy. What does it mean, for instance, that a certain body may be capable of giving birth later in life, and another body may not? It is here, in the distinctions between bodies observed and imposed by our culture, where sociologists and theorists of gender identity find their theoretical interests aroused, poised for deconstructive action."

Abstract
This essay outlines the experience of cross gendered people in both India and the West and discusses liminal aspects of cross gendered experience. The paper begins with a history of the separation of ?gender? and ?sex?, which occurred in the latter half of the twentieth century. The use of the term ?gender? as a reference for the social aspects of sex identity first occurred in the context of clinical research on intersexuality (hermaphroditism) in the 1950?s. The paper then explores the issues of transgender and cross-gender in today's times, specifically focussing on India as compared to the West. The paper explains that sex and gender are currently being redefined by feminist scholars with challenges to the 'universal' sex/gender binary through cross-cultural analysis.
From the Paper
"One of the most dynamic and relevant areas in anthropology today is the field of sex and gender in anthropology, with feminist scholars redefining Western, and anthropological, sex/gender ?norms? through cross-cultural analysis. ?The possibility of having more than two genders was opened up by divorcing gender from sexual morphology and by associating gender rather, indeed primarily, with social role and labour tasks? (Ramet 1996: 2). While concepts of universal, male:female, sexual binaries are being called into question, cross-cultural evidence and anthropological theories are being employed in entirely new ways."
