What is \"intersex\"? According to the Intersex Society of North America, the word describes someone born with sex chromosomes, genitalia, or an internal reproductive system that are neither clearly male nor clearly female. In first-person prose as intimate as a diary, Thea Hillman redefines memoir in a series of compelling stories that take a no-holds-barred look at sex, gender, family, and community. Whether she's pondering quirky family tendencies (\"Drag\"), reflecting on \"queerness\" (\"Another\"), or recounting scintillating adventures in San Francisco's sex clubs, Hillman's brave and fierce vision for cultural and societal change shines through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to a special report by the Traditional Values Coalition entitled \"Homosexual Urban Myth,\" award-winning writer \u003cb\u003eThea Hillman\u003c\/b\u003e is a radical who conducts erotic readings to promote the \"homosexual revolution.\" Thea offers presentations about sex and gender and performs her work at colleges and festivals around the country.
