My project, Interpretive Sex, is a concept map that questions the construct and
concepts of sex, I will be using this map to articulate the distinction and
classification of male and female. The
map will also introduce the concepts of intersexuality, hermaphroditism, and gynandromorphism
in invertebrates, mammals and birds. It is my desire of Interpretive Sex to initiate conversation of organism’s external phenotypic sex in comparison
to internal chromosomal sex. It is the goal of this concept map to broaden one’s
understanding and perception of the complexities of sex determination as well
as establishing the concept of sex as a human construct.
