Description
This book proffers a new conceptual framework of sex, gender, and sexual identity, presenting data that documents these identities as typical and extensive rather than exceptional. A Kaleidoscope of Identities reveals the more elusive elements of sex, gender, and sexual life which are often difficult to capture in quantifiable variables.
