Anne Fausto-Sterling
Fausto-Sterling explains biological ideas using a feminist point of view. The topics she speaks on most of the time include sex, gender, and human genetics. Fausto-Sterling uses Dynamic Systems theory, which comes from developmental psychology, to describe how people’s infancy and early childhood affect them in adulthood. A dynamic systems model is based on development and done over a long period of time. The gender/sex theory states that the infant and their caregiver, through their way of life, will give the infant a sense of gender/sex in their world. This can impact them later in life and could have an influence on their sexuality or gender identity.
