| Abstract | "This transformative guide completely breaks down our current understanding of biological sex and gender diversity. Introducing readers to seven variations of human sex, the book challenges the myth that sex and gender are 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 definions, this book is an important resource for promoting understanding and inclusivity."--book cover |
