A good book which mentions this queer inclusion is Changing Lesbian Norms by Angela Aragon, also many intersex organizations websites (OII, ISNA, Intersex Inititve, ect.) have a page dedicated to LGBT issues and how they relate. As for my feelings about transsexuality in Iran, at least their leadership recognizes and has legalized transsexuality, that is more then a lot of countries. On the other hand, they should not be legally obligated to go through with the sex change surgery (many transsexuals opt not to not have "the works"). It also makes it impossible for Iranians to have any sort of androgyny, if they are intersexed or genderqueer, there is no option for them to live as such. Also they pressure gays to have a sex change, which must cause much anguish since they are secure in their gender identity.Intersex &the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615805736623763538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839978414000723306.post-21060897965401819622009-11-05T20:08:09.793-08:002009-11-05T20:08:09.793-08:00Just wanted to give you a kudos for this enlighten...Just wanted to give you a kudos for this enlightening blog. I am currently enrolled in a Biology of Gender class and it has been engaging being properly informed of the spectrum. <br /><br />I am biologically female, socially on the androgynous side, and a heteromantic (possible asexual). As such, I'm really tired of the ignorance that stems from the gender binary.<br /><br />If you knew of any good sources for the role or lack thereof that homosexuality plays in intersex individuals, I would tremendously appreciate it. I am currently researching topics for my final paper.<br /><br />Also, I'd like to hear your opinion on transsexuality in Iran.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
