We hope you continue to enjoy these ‘broadening-perspectives' activities inour course, which help you think outside the traditional textbook boxes and tackle someemerging issues in scientific history, processes, and outcomes. Maybe as you read theCogbook section on hermaphroditism, you already thought, "Is that all there is to that story? Orcould there be some systems of power at play here?"

More information about the history and culture of intersex people can befound on the website of the Intersex Society of North America: https://isna.org/faq/history/To further develop your understanding of the role of hermaphroditism in animal behavior, readthe following passage from the book, Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, gender, and sexuality innature and people.
