Описание: Watch Georgiann Davis in National Geographic's Gender Revolution documentary with Katie Couric A personal, compelling perspective on how medical diagnoses can profoundly hurt, or help, the lived experiences of entire communitiesWinner, 2017 Sex and Gender Distinguished Book Award, presented by the American Sociological AssociationWinner, 2016 Donald Light Award for the Applied or Public Practice of Medical Sociology, presented by the American Sociological Association
When sociologist Georgiann Davis was a teenager, her doctors discovered that she possessed XY chromosomes, marking her as intersex. Rather than share this information with her, they withheld the diagnosis in order to "protect" the development of her gender identity; it was years before Davis would see her own medical records as an adult and learn the truth. Davis' experience is not unusual. Many intersex people feel isolated from one another and violated by medical practices that support conventional notions of the male/female sex binary which have historically led to secrecy and shame about being intersex. Yet, the rise of intersex activism and visibility in the US has called into question the practice of classifying intersex as an abnormality, rather than as a mere biological variation. This shift in thinking has the potential to transform entrenched intersex medical treatment. In Contesting Intersex, Davis draws on interviews with intersex people, their parents, and medical experts to explore the oft-questioned views on intersex in medical and activist communities, as well as the evolution of thought in regards to intersex visibility and transparency. She finds that framing intersex as an abnormality is harmful and can alter the course of one's life. In fact, controversy over this framing continues, as intersex has been renamed a 'disorder of sex development' throughout medicine. This happened, she suggests, as a means for doctors to reassert their authority over the intersex body in the face of increasing intersex activism in the 1990s and feminist critiques of intersex medical treatment. Davis argues the renaming of 'intersex' as a 'disorder of sex development' is strong evidence that the intersex diagnosis is dubious. Within the intersex community, though, disorder of sex development terminology is hotly disputed; some prefer not to use a term which pathologizes their bodies, while others prefer to think of intersex in scientific terms. Although terminology is currently a source of tension within the movement, Davis hopes intersex activists and their allies can come together to improve the lives of intersex people, their families, and future generations. However, for this to happen, the intersex diagnosis, as well as sex, gender, and sexuality, needs to be understood as socially constructed phenomena. A personal journey into medical and social activism, Contesting Intersex presents a unique perspective on how medical diagnoses can affect lives profoundly.

Описание: This book systematically presents and classifies the latest advances in suicide research in contemporary China, examines the status quo of suicides in China and analyzes the reasons for suicides among three high-risk groups, namely: rural females, teenagers, and the elderly. It reveals the deep-seated influence of traditional Chinese values and socio-cultural customs on suicide and puts forward a way to prevent suicide. This book argues that high suicide rates stem from flaws in the social fabric. Effectively reducing suicide rates and mitigating the damage done by suicide as a social disease is not only the responsibility of the state government, but also that of social, educational and medical professionals.
Описание: Kate thought she had it figured out. Life so far was pretty straight forward with only a few challenges. When Kate turned 40, an unclear spot was noted on her very first mammogram. She was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), a type of cancer she had never heard of, even though there are about 60,000 new cases of it (that is 1 in 5 of every new breast cancer diagnosis) each year in the United States. DCIS is the presence of abnormal cells inside the milk ducts of the breast. It is considered the earliest form of breast cancer and is noninvasive, as it has not spread to invade other parts of the breast. It has close to 100% survival rate. Women who are diagnosed with DCIS live in limbo between being survivors of cancer and not having real invasive cancer that requires chemotherapy and/or radiation. But the tests are similar, the waiting for results is identical, and the emotional ups and downs are just as gutting. Kate's journey through a year of cancer diagnoses, doctor's appointments, decisions, surgeries, and recoveries sheds light on her own personal journey through the emotions of cancer. Though no woman chooses the same cancer treatment journey, all will face anger, tears, weakness, laughter, strength, and solidarity.
