Thank you so very much for this resource, Victoria! For those of us who want to be allies, resisting the certainty of our rather insular upbringing about sex—which is but flimsy and unkind, this is very helpful. 

Kind regards,
Solomon

In light of this panel, please find attached a trans and non-binary allyship resource that will hopefully be of use to some. 

All the best

Subject: [AM] Join us at AAA Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology
 

Dear Colleagues attending AAA with an interest in this topic.

 

 

 

Event: 1402 - Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology

Type: Oral Presentation Session

Time: 12:15 PM - 1:45 PM

Location: TMCC, 801 B

Role: Organizer

Description: While it has become increasingly common in anthropology and public life to substitute "sex" with "gender", there are multiple domains of research in which biological sex remains irreplaceably relevant to anthropological analysis. Contesting the transition from sex to gender in anthropological scholarship deserves much more critical consideration than it has hitherto received in major diciplinary fora like AAA / CASCA. This diverse international panel brings together scholars from socio-cultural anthropology, archaeology, and biological anthropology who describe why in their work gender is not helpful and only sex will do. This is particularly the case when the work is concerned with equity and the deep analysis of power, and which has as an aim the achievement of genuine inclusivity. With research foci from hominin evolution to contemporary artificial intelligence, from the anthropology of education to the debates within contemporary feminism about surrogacy, panelists make the case that while not all anthropologists need to talk about sex, baby, some absolutely do.
