John Money--foremost sexologist of the 20th century--
presents in a small book of only 130 pages
all the basic information about sexual birth defects
and how they have been dealt with.

This book can be understood by every parent of an intersex baby
and by all who deal with persons
having some chromosome or hormone defects
that lead to a body somewhere between female and male.

Money deal with the following anomalies:
gonads, fetal hormones, internal sex organs,
external sex organs, & pubertal hormones.

He also discusses:
Sexual orientations for persons born intersex.
Assignment problems: Is it a boy or a girl?
Explaining the problems to children at levels appropriate for their ages.
The emergence and development of sexual responses
--both usual and unusual.

All-in-all, this is a good place to begin reading
about the various intersex conditions.
This book presents in a very brief form
themes that are explored more comprehensively
in other books by John Money.
