Georgiann Davis's first book, "Contesting Intersex, The Dubious Diagnosis" is hotly awaited, and the first chapter has just become available online, from the publisher. Here are a couple of quotes (references omitted):
A debut novel by author, surgeon and mother I W Gregorio, "None of the Above" is an entertaining and realistic portrayal of life of an American intersex teen, aimed at other young adult readers.
We have recently received a copy of "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity", a schoolbook by Australian publisher The Spinney Press in their "Issues in Society" series. It also contains content on intersex people and intersex issues.
ILGA Europe has published its summer magazine, Destination Equality, and this issue focuses on intersex. It includes an article and other content by Morgan Carpenter.
Andrew Solomon A.M. Homes and Robert Hoges spoke recently at Sydney Writers' Festival on growing up different from parents - something he terms "horizontal identity", in contrast with (for example) ethnic heritage, and typically religion and nationality which are "vertical identities", shared between family members.
We've recently seen a book by Alyssa Brugman, entitled "Alex as Well". We believe that the author has confused intersex with non-binary gender identities.
Recommended reading: a crucial collection of essays on rights, autonomy, and subjectivity.
