Al mismo tiempo, se las interpreta fundamentales para acceder a una mejor comprensión respecto de las prevalencias, el desarrollo y el tratamiento de enfermedades. En este trabajo, argumento que tal caracterización supone una serie de sesgos que derivan de una lectura mecanicista sobre los procesos de diferenciación sexual, por un lado, la enfermedad, por otro y de manera confluente, respecto de la relación sexo-prevalencia. Con dicho fin, mostraré que ni la mayoría de las variables consideradas de relevancia clínica, ni sus variabilidades, son definidas por los atributos que asociamos con la categoría sexo. Por eso propondré que en la era posgenómica resulta necesario desplazar dicha categoría por la noción de bioprocesos. Este desplazamiento sugiere que la plasticidad que nos caracteriza desde la ontogenia deja sin efecto la dicotomía sexo-género, puesto que resulta implausible rastrear atributos biológicos pre-sociales, sobre los que finalmente cobraría inteligibilidad la propia noción de sexo. Posteriormente, recuperaré la idea de clases prácticas para considerar que, combinándola con la noción de bioprocesos, las variables biomédicas deben ser situadas y específicas, ajustadas al estudio de interés. Mostraré que algunas de las implicancias del desplazamiento que propongo suponen diluir valores cisnormativos, que marginalizan las corporalidades trans.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The sex category usually refers to the idea of pre-social variables, i. e., detached from the environment. At the same time, they are interpreted as fundamental for a better understanding of disease prevalence, development and treatment. In this paper, I argue that such a characterization implies a series of biases that derive from a mechanistic reading of the processes of sexual differentiation, on the one hand, disease, on the other, and, confluently, of the sex-prevalence relationship. To this end, I will show that neither most of the variables considered of clinical relevance, nor their variabilities, are defined by the attributes we associate with the sex category. I will therefore propose that in the post-genomic era it is necessary to displace this category by the notion of bioprocesses. This displacement suggests that the plasticity that characterizes us from ontogeny leaves the sex-gender dichotomy without effect, since it is implausible to trace pre-social biological attributes, on which the notion of sex itself would finally become intelligible. Subsequently, I will recover the idea of practical classes to consider that, combining it with the notion of bioprocesses, biomedical variables must be situated and specific, adjusted to the study of interest. I will show that some of the implications of the displacement I propose involve diluting cisnormative values, which marginalize trans corporealities.]]></p></abstract>
