Abstract
demonstrate that questions of gender were and always have been central to questions of humanity—not only did ideas about nonbinary sex/gender inform theology and science and shape the ways in which categories like ‘male’ and ‘female’ were constituted, but such ideas were also deployed as tools of exclusion for the enemies of Christendom. The Shape of Sex urges us to consider how gender/sex continues to be used as a boundary marker, with ongoing, significant consequences for nonbinary people today.
