1691: Sex Change
“Sex change” is currently seen as a sensationalistic term used in the media. Dr. Rawson sent me the following article from 1691 which uses the term “sexes change” to refer to a change of sex: The Athenian Mercury, number 23, 1691

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“1691: Sex Change” may matter to community readers because it records a specific intervention in debates about media, rhetoric, and discourse, with particular attention to interpretive analysis. The permanent record makes that intervention easier to locate and compare with other Collective coverage.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2012 at Cristan’s Research, “1691: Sex Change” provides dated evidence of how media, rhetoric, and discourse was being argued in relation to interpretive analysis. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.
Policy significance
No dominant policy frame was detected in “1691: Sex Change.” Its policy relevance, when present, is therefore likely indirect: the article’s treatment of media, rhetoric, and discourse may shape later arguments about institutions or public practice rather than proposing a specific rule.
