Description
Updated to reflect recent political changes and enriched with the author's personal experience of having two gay sons, The Sexual Spectrum answers questions about sexual diversity in a warm and entertaining way. Do homosexuals and heterosexuals differ, apart from their sexuality? Why do some people change gender? Johnson draws on the latest scientific information and stories from everyday people and examines recent social change and legal rights--including the ongoing debate over same-sex marriage.
"The Sexual Spectrum springboards into a presentation of current research into the history and science of diversity." (Globe and Mail)
"One of the best primers on gender, sex orientation and variations ever published." (Little Sister's Book Review)
