Subject: gender etc.


Can somebody help me and give some info about the developments of D & 
G's idea that there is more than two, in fact n, sexes? Did D/G 
or someone else develop the idea after _Thousand Plateaus_, or 
did someone argue against it? (Of course someone did - so 
please forgive me my ignorance ...)

... my article should be finished soon, but I just began to call into 
question the bipolar theories (man/woman, masculine/feminine) about 
"gender" ... which seem to prevent any kind of development and make 
one fall deep into essentialism and reductionism ... 

Thanks!!
