摘要

这篇文章批评了儿童生殖器手术治疗阴阳人/性发育障碍的做法。本文利用感知社会学和后结构主义理论(特别是雅克·拉康)来分析外科手术提供的主体位置，作为先于主体性的非人格凝视的功能。尽管早期的手术似乎是合理的，因为儿童天生需要看到性别差异，以确定自己是男性还是女性，但当我们认识到性别差异不是任何人都能看到的东西，而是身体之间的距离，只有凝视才能看到时，这种支持手术的论点就站不住脚了。这篇文章还建议，双性人研究可以与跨性人研究合作，质疑医学化，并将性别差异视为多维的，而不是二元的。

Intersex Surgery between the Gaze and the Subject

This essay critiques the practice of childhood genital surgery for intersex/disorders of sex development. The essay draws on the sociology of perception and poststructuralist theory (in particular Jacques Lacan) to analyze the subject position offered by surgery as a function of the impersonal gaze that precedes subjectivity. Even though early surgery appears to be justified on the basis that children have an innate need to see sexual difference in order to identify as female or male, this argument in favor of surgery collapses when we recognize that sexual difference is not a thing that can be seen by any individual but a spacing between bodies that is apparent only to the gaze. The essay suggests additionally that intersex studies can collaborate with trans* studies to interrogate medicalization and consider sexual difference as multidimensional rather than binary.
