help with book

[gncallahan]

Hi,

I am currently working on a book tentatively titled The Mismeasure of Sex which Chicago Review Press will publish in 2008. A portion of that book focuses on issues of intersexuality, androgen insensitivity, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, sex chromosome differences, and related matters. I contacted Jan Goto at ISNA and she suggested that I contact support groups for more information. I am very interested in speaking with a person or persons who are living with these conditions. My reasons are that I think as part of the book, it would be wonderful for readers to hear from these people in their own voices. The main purpose of the book is not to suggest we need more sexes, but rather how we might all benefit from a change in the ways we think about sexes and what is usual or unusual. As part of my project, speaking with someone who is experiencing any of these as a way of life would be especially important and useful to me. My only interest would be in providing this person or theses persons with an opportunity to express their feelings about their lives in ways that might help to educate all of us. Anything that I attributed to anyone I spoke with would be available for review and correction before publication. I have attached my current table of contents to give you a better idea about the breadth and depth of the book. If I can do anything further to convince you of my sincerity, please let me know. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
