uliana Gleeson, one of the co-editors of the much acclaimed Transgender Marxism, will be back in Housmans to celebrate the publication of her new book: Hermaphrodite Logic: A History of Intersex Liberation. In this work, Gleeson examines the history of the Intersex Liberation Movement, and reveals the means by which it interrogated systemic medical abuses of intersex people and reshaped our understanding of ‘sex.’ Blending philosophical insights and personal testimonies, Gleeson argues that intersex people have been harmed not just for therapeutic reasons but to ease professional and parental anxieties.
Juliana will be in conversation with the philosopher Billie Cashmore. They will talk for around 45 minutes or so, followed by an audience Q&A.
WiB - London meets every Wednesday, around the statue of Edith Cavell in St Martin’s Place 6-7. We are very happy to welcome new women to the vigils – even if they can only come once in a while.
