In gender theory, the term “heteronormativity” refers to the idea that human beings fall into two distinct and complementary categories, male and female; that sexual and marital relations are usual only when between two people of different genders; and that consumers could follow roles determined by their gender. Instead, some people have sought to define their sexuality and sexual identity in non-polar terms, aspect element within the belief that the simple division of all humans into “males” and “females” does not fit their individual conditions. A proponent of this movement away from polar oppositions, Anne Fausto-Sterling, recognized five sexes: male, female, merm (male pseudohermaphrodite), ferm (female pseudohermaphrodite) and herm (true hermaphrodite). Although she was heavily criticized, her idea demonstrates the difficulty and imperfection of the current social responses to these variations.
