From cross-dressing to altering one's sex by undergoing

has reached new levels of popularity. Gender Blending is an up-to-date

of lifestyle research are vast and rapid. This book looks at biological,

researchers in all areas. By representing a unique collaboration
of experts and those involved in gender blending, this groundbreaking
work could spell the beginning of a sexual renaissance.

gender heresy, androgyny, religion and the cross-dresser, transgender
healthcare, free expression, sex change surgery, loving transvestites,
gender blending in literature, virtual gender, counseling and
treatment, the law and transsexuals, and much more.
