Science and The social Construction of the Sexed Body in Making Sex by Thomas Laqueu

In the work of writer Thomas Laqueur, the authors analyze gender difference throughout the 18th century and review how doctors, scientists, biologists, and society understand human anatomy and physiology. Laqueur gives us two gender models; a single gender model and gender model. He explained the people we changed from a single gender model to a gender model. How these two models influence our society and influence the history is related to the fact that massive evidence comes from science.

Single sex and double gender theory are two human anatomy or fetal developmental models that Thomas Raquel discussed in "Manufacturing: Greeks to Freud's body and Gender". He believes that the concept of human sexual anatomy in Europe has undergone a fundamental change from the 18th century to the 19th century. Before the 18th century, it was widely believed that women and men represented two basic forms of basic gender. In other words, women are considered to have the same basic reproductive structure as men. It is outside. Anatomists believe that the vagina is inside the penis, the labia is the foreskin, the uterus is the scrotum, and the ovaries are the testes. However, in the 18th century, the mainstream view was reversed of the two sexes. In the 18th century, there was a great deal of literature supporting the duality model. This is considered normal and acceptable

The development of the feminist theory in the second half of the 20th century further strengthens the status of gender in social construction. In his first book "Sex, Gender and Society" published in 1972, Ann Oakley used the term "gender" for something different from gender in social science literature. In book "Gender: Ethnic Methodology" published in 1978, psychology professor Suzanne Kessler and Wendy McKenna said "gender is a social constituent and the two" gender "worlds are the result of social sharing It is claimed to be accepted by members, it was used to build reality. "

For Butler, the subject of sex is never outside the social meaning, the way to understand sex affects the understanding of sex (1999, 139). Sex of the body is not a hollow matter that constitutes sex, it is a gender category based on objective characteristics of the world. On the contrary, our sex body is itself constructive. They are their way of doing, at least because they are classified as belonging to the sex of the body (see Haslanger 1995, 99 for discourse composition). Gender distribution (called women or men) is normative (Butler 1993, 1). When a doctor calls a baby just born to a girl or a boy, he / she does not make an explanatory request and suggests the specification instead. Actually, the doctor is taking extracurricular activities (see the speech action item). In fact, the doctor's word makes a baby a girl or a boy. She does not deny the existence of the body
