Book Reviews of Intersex and Identity: The Contested Self
Book Review: Wow - what an eye opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn what intersex means and what it means to be intersexed. The stories are heart breaking and heart warming all at the same time. I found myself experiencing a wide range of emotions from the deepest sense of compassion to outright rage at the medical community and the closed-minded behaviors of parents and families. There is so little known about this subject that the behavior of physicians and families isn't really all that surprising but it is still maddening! This book helped demystify the topic and make it a very real "condition" that needs much more than a biological definition and diagnosis. It pleases me to know someone is out there studying, learning and educating people on this topic. It is extremely complex and I look forward to seeing more mainstream literature on the subject.
