vol. 272, n.3:47-65



Notas



   1. People that do not fit what is considered ‘natural’ categorization

   2. Categories are not questioned, persons become the object of study
        (mental patients, idiots savants, drug addiction, etc)

   (first psychiatry – homosexuality became a form of mental illness. Psychiatry
   should treat them; The issue was taken up by neurobiology as a variation of
   behavior. Concept of ‘sexual differentiation of the brain’. Anatomical
   difference between straight and gay men

   3. All approaches to these studies use the standard experimental designs to
   find significant differences.
