I READ a fascinating article in the paper the other day, an experience enhanced by the realisation that I'd written it.

The story was about the Human Rights Commission pressing the case for a third official gender called "intersex".

This sounded a lot like something a lot of people were doing in Amsterdam and on videos I had downloaded from the internet.

To my surprise, intersex is not an adults-only, warp-speed device from Star Trek: The Next Generation but a condition where people aren't quite male or female, or perhaps a little bit too much of both.
