Un gène en moins, un clitoris en plus | Valérie Trichet | TEDxNantes
Si vous n’avez pas de gène SRY, alors vous avez le même super organe qu’elle. Lui, c’est le
clitoris, organe hautement sensible et mystérieux. Elle, elle vous raconte des histoires de génétique
et d’embryologie qui conduisent au développement d’un clitoris ou d’un pénis. Elle enseigne
l’histologie qui sous le microscope révèle combien le clitoris compte une multitude de corpuscules de
Messner et de Pacini. Ces organisations de cellules nerveuses produisent un éclair sensitif, une
explosion de joie. C’est la puissance de la jouissance qui peut faire peur et conduire à la censure ou
l’excision. Elle trace les contours de cet organe sensible et érectile, un bijou d’humanité entre unité
et diversité du vivant.If you don't have the SRY gene, then you have the same super organ as her : the clitoris, a highly
sensitive and mysterious organ. She tells stories of genetics and embryology that lead to the
development of a penis or a clitoris. She teaches histology, which shows under a microscope how the
clitoris contains a multitude of Messner’s and Pacinian corpuscles. These nerve cell structures
produce a sensitive flash, an explosion of joy. It's the power of orgasm that can frighten and lead to
censorship or excision. She traces the contours of this sensitive and erectile organ, a jewel of
humanity between the unity and diversity of life. Valérie Trichet, professeure des universités à la faculté de médecine à Nantes (France).Valérie Trichet, professor at Nantes University (France).Crédit photo : Fotocall
