Abstract
Intersex has been a topic of much discussion in courses on sex and gender in the academy. Much of this discourse has centred on the nature of intersex and how far it challenges the categories of sex and gender. As Emi Koyama and Lisa Weasel pointed out in 2002, this form of academic appropriation risks diverting attention from important
social justice issues towards trivial or reductive theorising about social construction. Academic enquiries into the oppression of people with intersex variations may only
sometimes be helpful in bringing hegemonic forces of body normativity, prejudice and sex/gender norms into question.
