ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book renders intersex/DSD theologically meaningful, and to query the strands within theology which have privileged heteronormativity and unambiguous sex. A project of education on and engagement with issues of intersex/DSD and otherwise a typical physicality or sexgender configuration in the Church would enable appropriate pastoral care and non-hysterical debate. Liberative theologies from intersex/DSD will be incarnational theologies which refuse to quash the obstinate and intractable bodiliness of bodies. An acknowledgement that the bodies of people with intersex/DSD conditions are not unproblematically bodies which have 'gone wrong' are crucial to disturbing heteronormativity. Reflection on intersex/DSD can sharpen the focus on those strands of the Judaeo-Christian tradition which are already anti-imperial, anti-idolatrous and anti-monolithic. Intersex/DSD is a kaleidoscope, a tube of mirrors reflecting society's assumptions about the nature of sex and gender back at itself and showing them up as the artifices they are.
