What might it mean to suggest that some characteristic is biologically determined? That is, what, for example, might it mean to say that gender or race is 'determined by biology'? What medical consequences can result from understanding gender or race in a biologically determinist or essentialist manner? What might it mean to suggest that race or gender is 'socially constructed'? What exactly does that mean? Can you think of examples? What are the major differences between biological determinist and social constructionist approaches to understanding gender, sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, etc. in terms of medicine?
