Between XX and XY: Intersexuality and the Myth of Two Sexes, by Gerald N. Callahan, Ph.D. (general nonfiction). Callahan, a biomedical researcher and associate professor at Colorado State University, offers a scientifically based but highly accessible account of people born with physical characteristics, DNA and even genitalia that are neither clearly male nor female, and the fallout of our society's push to fit them into a pink-or-blue world.
