Hermaphrodisie en Uranisme by Arnold Aletrino

Description

Hermaphrodisie en Uranisme by Arnold Aletrino is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work discusses the topics of hermaphroditism and homosexuality, exploring the complexities of gender and sexual identification from humanitarian and scientific perspectives. Aletrino aims to provide a comprehensive examination of these subjects, especially within the context of societal norms and legal implications. The opening of the text introduces Aletrino’s motivations for addressing the often-taboo subjects of sexuality and gender in academic discourse—specifically, the need for legal and medical professionals to be informed about these issues. He expresses concern about the lack of discussion in educational settings and provides historical context for the understanding of hermaphroditism and homosexuality, emphasizing the importance of studying these conditions in a non-judgmental way. He notes that not only is the biological basis of gender fluidity complex, but there are also significant legal implications surrounding individuals who may not fit traditional gender roles. Through this discourse, Aletrino sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the intersection between biology, society, and law regarding sexual identity.
