What are the implications of misunderstanding sex as a binary, and why is it essential for scientists to incorporate a more expansive view of biological sex in our teaching and research? This roundtable will include many of our symposium speakers, including biologists and intersex advocates, to discuss these topics and visibilize the link between ongoing reification of dyadic sex within scientific communities and the social, political, and medical oppression faced by queer, transgender, and especially intersex communities. As with the symposium as a whole, this conversation is designed to bring together empirical research and implementation of equity, inclusion, and justice principles, which are often siloed into separate rooms and conversations at academic conferences. Given the local and national attacks on the rights of intersex individuals and access to medical care and bodily autonomy, this interdisciplinary discussion is both timely and urgent.
误解性别为二元性别会带来什么影响，为什么科学家在教学和研究中纳入更广泛的生物性别观点至关重要？本次圆桌会议将包括我们研讨会的许多演讲者，包括生物学家和双性人权益倡导者，以讨论这些话题，并突显科学界中二元性别持续僵化与酷儿、跨性别者，特别是双性人社区所面临的社会、政治和医疗压迫之间的联系。与整个研讨会一样，本次对话旨在将权益、包容和正义原则的实证研究和实施结合起来，这些原则通常在学术会议中被分割到不同的房间和对话中。鉴于当地和国家对双性人个人权利以及医疗保健和身体自主权的攻击，本次跨学科讨论既及时又紧迫。
