This talk will introduce Juliana Gleeson's fresh history of the intersex liberation movement, Hermaphrodite Logic, and especially whether the book is correctly billed as a 35 year movement history... Or is better viewed as a philosophy of sex's expressive character. Gallows humour guaranteed.

Juliana Gleeson is a writer and reader raised in west London, who now lives in east Berlin. Her editing work has been done for pay and passion, including the pioneering anthology Transgender Marxism (2021). Well noted for her love of two word titles, her first book Hermaphrodite Logic was published this summer -- addressing the history and style of the intersex movement. She's currently writing a follow-up titled Dyke Dialectics.
