Open Door Discussion: Body Binaries
Monday, November 16, 2026
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Allendale Campus
Faculty, Staff, Students
Join us for a student-led and INT-approved discussion about sex and gender in our society!
Despite decades of research, our society still has a hard time separating sex and gender. You essentially can't have one without the other. Sexing offers an anatomical binary to describe and justify differences between men and women and doesn't leave room for other genders to exist. It also tells us that certain body parts, features, and experiences only belong to specific sexes. Gender is not anatomy, and bodies exist on a larger spectrum than our ideas allow for. Join us for a discussion exploring the influence of gender on our beliefs about sex.
