From the recent thread on Goanet regarding Consensual sex I was a little surprised to see how ill-informed our community is regarding sexual and gender issues. In many cases it is not by choice and a lot of these individuals struggle with the same day-to-day issues as so called "normal" individuals. We are more alike than one wants to believe. This book is written with humour and candour, and leaves the reader wiser and more compassionate to the plight of intersex individuals.Lisette
