| GENDER STUDIES | |
| Title: Herculine
Barbin; Being the Recently Discovered Memoirs of a Nineteenth-Century French
Hermaphrodite. A shorter but powerful memoir. Not much has changed since this book was written. Herculine's emotions are as my own. Herculine was raised as a female for many years, until forced to change to a male. I highly recommend this truly unique book -Berdache Jordan |

| Title: Hermaphrodites
and the Medical Invention of Sex Author: Alice Domurat Dreger Drawing on many case studies, scholar Alice Dreger explores encounters between hermaphrodites--people born with "ambiguous" sexual anatomy--and the medical profession of late 19th-century Britain and France. Comparing protocols applied today in similar situations, this meticulously researched book will compel the attention of anyone interested in the meanings and foundations of sexual identity. 24 photos. |

| Title: Mom, I'm gay." Twenty years ago, during a walk on a Mississippi beach, Ellen DeGeneres spoke those simple, powerful words to her mother. That emotional moment eventually brought mother and daughter closer than ever, but not without a struggle. Betty DeGeneres tells her story; the complicated
path to acceptance and the deepening of her friendship with her daughter. |

Title: Changing Ones : Third and Fourth Genders in Native North America Gender diversity - in the form of third and fourth gender roles - is one of the most common and least understood features of native North America. Such roles have been documented in over 150 tribes throughout the continent. Widely accepted, often considered holy, berdaches, as they have been termed, combine the work and social roles of men and women along with traits unique to their status. This book carefully reconstructs the place of these roles in traditional tribal cultures and traces their history up to the present. Before the arrival of Europeans individuals sometimes changed their gender because of a dream. |

Author: Kate Bornstein Kate Bornstein has been through some changes--a former heterosexual male, one-time Scientologist and IBM salesperson, now a lesbian woman writer and actress. In this work, she covers everything readers want to know about gender (but are too confused to ask) and takes a witty, incisive look at the radical new politics of sexuality and gender. Also includes Bornstein's play, Hidden: A Gender. |
