My Contributions

  • I added this paragraph to the Intersex Society of North America page: The frequently asked questions about the Intersex Society of North America and biologist Anne Fausto-Sterlings "Of Gender and Genitals" both note how common intersex is. In one answer on the FAQ's it states that intersex is as common as "1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 births"[9] and in "Of Gender and Genitals" it states that albino births "occur less frequently than intersexual births".[10] According to Anne Sterling, many male's are born with their "meautis" or "pee-hole" located in many different locations, rather than at the tip where it's supposed to be located, and so "many never knew they'd be urinating from the wrong place their entire lives."[11] This as an example of why some would think albino births are more common than intersex births, because when a person is albino its a feature that you can notice on sight but you could see a dozen humans that fit into the term intersex and never even know it.
  • I added these two sentences to the Statistics section of the Women in science page: Women, in the United States and many European countries, who succeed in science tend to be graduates of single-sex schools. [56] Women earn 54% of all bachelor's degrees in the United States and 50% of those in science and only 9% of U.S. physicists are women. [57]
