This transformative guide completely breaks down our current
understanding of biological sex and gender diversity. Introducing
readers to seven variations of human sex, commonly considered
intersex, the book challenges the myth that sex and gender are
exclusively binary and explores the inherent diversity of
biological sex and its relationship to gender identity and
expression, and the impact this has on society. Examining
historical, linguistic and socio-cultural understandings of sex and
gender, as well as genetic and scientific definitions, the book is
an important resource for dismantling gender and sexuality-based
discrimination and promoting understanding and inclusivity.
Co-written by one of the world's leading intersex activists and a
highly respected scholar in biological sciences, and accompanied
with detailed anatomical illustrations throughout, this pioneering
text is the essential introduction to gender and sex diversity for
gender studies, women's studies, biology and genetics courses, as
well as professionals working with intersex and trans communities.
