A few years ago, human beings still cling to the view that people are divided into three, six and nine grades. Of course, similar views have now been swept into the trash heap of history along with the fact that the earth is square. Yet the normative division of sexual polarization still occupies the domain of our common sense. This stubbornness is quite interesting and worth exploring.
To distinguish the sex of an organism, first of all, it is necessary to take the obvious opposite and complementary polarities as the basis for discrimination, namely male characteristics (male characteristics) and female characteristics (female characteristics). However, with these individual sexual characteristics alone, it is not possible to actually distinguish them. Because a single sexual characteristic can only be one of all the sexual characteristics that constitute the sex of an organism, to actually distinguish it, it is necessary to observe the sum of all his (her) sexual characteristics. This sum can be divided into two categories: physiological characteristics and psychological characteristics. For example, the most typical, the penis and the toughness belong to the physical and psychological characteristics of male characteristics. Similarly, the vagina and femininity belong to the physical and psychological sexual characteristics of women. Generally speaking, medical gender only takes physical sexual characteristics, and the result determines the gender of a citizen on the ID card. This kind of single taking the physiological characteristics of the object as the basis for discrimination is called "polarization of sexual characteristics". The result is: male or female, there is no intermediate state, even if there are special cases, they will be artificially corrected by surgery. Psychology, on the other hand, focuses more on psychological sexual characteristics on the basis of physical sexual characteristics. Further, to satisfy the requirement that the object's physical and psychological characteristics belong to the same identity is the "normal division of sexual characteristics polarization". "Normal" here has a sociological meaning, that is, it's defined by society, the highest-ranking human aggregate, and not just casually saying that if you're male, you're male, and if you're female, you're female. There will be conflicts between the two methods of discrimination, such as a boy who is physically sound but has a feminine demeanor. At this time, the boy will be tested as a male through the previous test, and later, he will be regarded as a male with female psychological characteristics, and he will not be able to enter the "normal" and become "abnormal".
So why does something beyond the "normal" happen? Why should we artificially add a layer of psychological, behavioral, and sociological psychological characteristics to the "polarization of sexual characteristics" based on the physiological basis as the analysis basis for "normality"? Who is really qualified to define "normal"?
I think the emergence of the so-called "normal" is forgivable. Because the "normal division of sexual characteristics polarization" has an objective anthropological statistical basis, originating from ancient human cognition. Since there are few cases of inconsistency between physical and psychological sexual characteristics around us, it is even rarer for the two physical and sexual characteristics to coexist. Therefore, in ancient times, people were more willing to accept a harmless and artificially simplified methodology, while ignoring the special cases around them, which is understandable. More importantly: Simplified things can often save social resources to a certain extent and improve the efficiency of social operation. It is as if Newtonian physics was a normal approximation of general relativity. Like those human cognitions that are also simplified, there is a precise cognition that is closer to the truth behind it, but it has the convenience that precise cognition cannot replace. If possible, general relativity will evaluate Newtonian physics in this way: this rough and completely replaceable thing still has value in the field of common sense, so it should continue to be preserved in junior high school textbooks. As a result, some black-and-white viewpoints are also preserved in a grand manner. However, regardless of whether we look at it from a physiological or psychological point of view, only a clearly male or female creature with a unified physical and psychological sexuality is likely to have an advantage in the evolution of vertebrates. Perhaps this is the real reason why the "normal division of polarized sexual characteristics" has survived to this day.
Physiologically definite male or female characteristics are the basis of sexual reproduction, while sexual reproduction maintains and strengthens the polarization of the opposing characteristics of male and female, male and female, and male and female. Once the creatures with these polarized characteristics have psychological characteristics, it will make the yin and yang between them overcome each other, men compete with women, complement each other, and develop each other into a wonderful evolution. As a result, the emotions of vertebrates can be continuously elevated, delicate and rich under the drive of hormones. Perhaps it is because of this that the IQ of primates has been able to advance by leaps and bounds, hieroglyphs have been invented, and great literary and artistic works have been born. Even today I have the honor to sit in front of the computer and comment on this film through the Internet. The material basis for all this can be attributed to the driving force behind the evolution of vertebrates - the normal division of sexual polarization.
However, while this division catalyzes our evolution and plays a positive role, it cannot avoid XXY or XYY patients, sexually dysplastic people, tossing transgender people, sexual inversions, homosexuals, transvestites, men and women. The emergence of mashers. For these individuals who are difficult to distinguish according to its rigid standards, it can only incompetently classify him or her into the product of evolutionary failure, and then occupy the field of human common sense, control the right to speak, and guide human beings to put these tragedies together. Individuals are classified as "abnormal" one by one, excluded and discriminated against, and at the same time absolved of their own responsibilities. This should not be what we want to see. Nature invented XY or XX combinations, but forgot the possibility of XXY or XYY combinations, resulting in genetic errors. When these mistakes are made inadvertently, they are thrown away; or they ignore their pain and force them to be remodeled and reshaped; or they are still regarded as heterogeneous and defective products after remodeling and remodeling. Humans are not what we want to see either.
15-year-old Alex had to painstakingly choose her own gender as an adult, and she didn't let the creator make the decision easily at the moment of insemination like most lucky people in the world. Of course, she can also not make a decision, and let the hormones in her body run wild without compromising on the ubiquitous simplified dichotomy. The film does not give Alex a choice, we only see Alex saying to her father without looking back: let them (the townspeople) know go!
The style of Argentine cinema is increasingly international. From this film we see a calm narrative tone, some stenciled shooting techniques. But this does not prevent it from being a mature film.
Attached - XXY is a sex chromosome disease, the cause is unknown, mostly in the offspring of advanced mothers.
Attachment - "Sexual characteristics polarization method" and "sexual characteristics polarization normal method" are only the author's personal induction, and there is no similar title in academics.
