What does it mean to politicize sex rather than assume its politics? In this episode, we're joined once again by Juliana Gleeson to discuss her new book Hermaphrodite Logic: A History of Intersex Liberation, a sharp and sardonic retelling of intersex activism from 1990 to today. We trace the expressive politics of sex through protest, medical confrontation, and wit as strategy, asking how humor, style, and clinical resistance shaped a movement. Along the way, we explore the global stakes of intersex struggle—from American hospitals to South African race science and the Olympic spectacle.
