developing a character

Hi,

Understanding what it's like to be intersexed is pretty complex. There are lots of different types of intersex, and lots of different degrees of intersexing conditions - and as many ways that it all affects our lives.

I'd like to suggest a book for you, "Intersex and Identity, the contested self", by Sharon Preeves. Amazon.com carries it. I strongly recommend it to everyone who is trying to understand what it is like to be intersexed, or trying to become an ally to intersexed people.

I'm intersexed myself, and also do some educating on intersex issues.

Jim C.
