THOUGHT AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FROM THE VIDEO AND READINGS
Question 1. Give a basic summary of what the video showed and your immediate reaction to it.
Question 2. How should the outcome of this one case affect standard medical practice, including the treatment of intersex babies? Can we learn a significant lesson from a single case?
Question 3. What would you do if a similar accident happened to your baby boy?
Question 4. What are the implications of the John/Joan case for ever achieving a society with sexual equality, or of creating Kate Bornstein's vision of a "no-gender" world (again, you may have to do some outside research)?
Question 5. What are the roles of nature and of nurture in the development of our gender roles? Why should we care?
