The theme for the 2019 Autumn Congress is “Gender Variation and Sexuality: ‘Beyond the Binary Thinking,'” a topic that has been in the news in various ways in recent years.With the theme for the 2019 Autumn Congress “Gender Variation and Sexuality,” we invite all attendees to think beyond the binary.
About 85 thousand Dutch people fall outside the biological male-female pigeonholes and have a variation of gender (also called Difference of Sex Development or intersex). But who does this large group of people consist of? In what ways can you come into contact with them as a sex therapist? And what can you offer this group?
The topic of gender variation has been increasingly in the media in recent years. There is more and more room socially for variation and more and more people with gender variation are showing up; e.g. Ryanne van Dorst in her program “Gender!” or model Hanne Gabie Odiele. At the same time, gender variation also causes problems in gendered activities, such as sports. Athlete Castor Semenya was barred from participating in the women’s competition due to her excessively high testosterone levels. On the other hand, individuals with gender variation are increasingly protected from involuntary surgery or discrimination (e.g., by the newly adopted General Equal Treatment Act)
