In this commentary on the three articles in the special section "Beyond Kinsey: The Committee for Research in Problems of Sex and American Psychology," I focus on the implications of each author's analysis for understanding scientific constructions of sex and sexuality by examining the complex intersection of sex and nature. I show how each paper illuminates the ways nature was deployed by researchers investigating one of the most intimate yet most political aspects of being human. What did they count as "natural" when it came to sex and sexuality? What did they exclude or overlook? What political and moral work did the rhetoric of "the natural" do?

在这篇对“超越金赛：性问题研究委员会与美国心理学”特刊中三篇文章的评论里，我通过审视性与自然的复杂交集，着重探讨了每位作者的分析对于理解性与性取向的科学建构所具有的意义。我展示了每篇论文如何阐明研究人类最私密却又最具政治性的方面之一的研究者们运用自然概念的方式。在性与性取向方面，他们将什么视为“自然的”？他们排除或忽略了什么？“自然”这一修辞发挥了怎样的政治和道德作用？（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2012美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
