- 2017, Marie-Louise Holm, Fleshing out the self, →ISBN, page 75:
- Following this logic, I define gendersex as consisting of an entanglement of concepts and materialities that co-construct each other in phenomena. Furthermore, similarly to how the Danish transdisciplinary feminist scholar Nina Lykke uses the term gender/sex, I use the term gendersex as a way of translating into English the meaning of the Danish word køn in the material of my analysis. In English, this would be translated into either sex or gender, but in Danish it entails both aspects and does not distinguish clearly between them (Lykke 2010).
