Harper opens a new door on the intersexed, revealing men and women who are conspicuously jostled among rigid definitions of gender identity, reproductive physiology, and gender role. As they confront, embrace, or simply question their assigned 'positions,' these individuals expose opportunities, perhaps, to sidestep binary role impositions in our own lives. Intersex brings biological and social theories of gender into a dialogue with the day-to-day existence of a previously silenced people. It's about time. Claudine Griggs, Rhode Island College An exceptional book for an audience that could desperately use an informed, sympathetic, and understanding voice.
