About This Book

The author examines intersex conditions and same-sex attraction from scientific and humanitarian perspectives, arguing that legal and medical professionals must understand biological and social complexities. He critiques societal prudery that silences discussion, surveys anatomical and physiological features used to distinguish sexes, and shows these traits overlap and resist rigid classification. The text outlines categories of sexual characteristics (gamete-producing organs, reproductive tracts, secondary sexual traits, psychological inclinations, and sexual object-choice) and discusses implications for diagnosis, legal cases, and clinical care, calling for informed, nonjudgmental responses grounded in observation rather than moral condemnation.
