Description
Résumé:When we are born, we are each assigned a biological gender based on our physical anatomy. But why is it that some people experience such dissonance between their biological sex and their inner identity ? Is gender something we are or something we do ? Is our expression of gender inborn or does it develop as we grow ? Are the traditional binary male and female gender roles relevant in an increasingly fluid and flexible world ? This perceptive, stimulating volume assesses the connections between gender, psychology, culture and sexuality, and reveals how individual and social attitudes have evolved over the centuries.
