'Between XX and XY: Intersexuality and the Myth of Two Sexes' by Gerald Callahan
Gender and science both play a role in human sexuality -- something that may not be as black and white (or boy and girl) as we think.

Chastity Bono's decision to physically become a man has left us to wonder: What happens to those who are physically one sex but want to be the other? Human sexuality then becomes something that has shades of gray, varied interpretations and repercussions far beyond the bedroom.

In "Between XX and XY: Intersexuality and the Myth of the Two Sexes," author Gerald Callahan breaks down the general belief that there is only the male and the female. He argues that the idea that there are only two sexes is a mere myth we hold on to to make sex simple.
