Except I don't think asexual would really be part of the Kinsey scale - unless they went with a 3, being that both would equal 0.

That's the one.

/reunhijack;)

There's a separate Kinsey rating for asexual - it's "X" I believe, with some irony

I saw that- and I believe it was because something went wrong with the equipment (no pun intended) during the circumcision, and they decided to do gender reassignment and raise the child as a girl. Apparently it was a good idea in theory but the results were disasterous.

It also gets my vote for most depressing episode ever.

That could have something to do with the therapist making her act out sex with her twin brother...

It's a true story. And it gets more depressing.

That is correct!

The book As Nature Made Him is an excellent book, although written by a journalist and not a social scientist.

It's used in many undergraduate and graduate level gender courses.

Dr. John Money was very eccentric and a complete asshole in many aspects of his life.

Sidebar: Anne F a u s t o-Sterling has some interesting articles about the link between sex and gender.

Apparently, it's okay to type "asshole" on here but not "F a u s t," hence the spacing between the letters in "F a u s t o." :)

Well this will put a damper on your day. :(

That used to be the standard for a botched circumcision or for any sort of uncertainty about the babies physical sex. At the time, doctors thought it was all about how we were raised. Yeah, that didn't work out so well.

ETA: Oh and a Kinsey 0 here. File me under ally :)

is there an online version of the test? i THINK i know my number... but i wanna be sure ;)

I love SVU though - its one of my favorite shows. That was an interesting episode - depressing and dark, but then again many SVU episodes are.

(not to continue the hijack or anything... :o )

Besides a few quizzes that don't seem very accurate. That's about all there is. Kinsey got his information through open ended questions rather than tests.
