Reviews for The Plasticity of Sex: The Molecular Biology and Clinical Features of Genomic Sex, Gender Identity and Sexual Behavior

This book provides an in-depth landscape of sexuality and gender identification from biological, physiological, and behavioral standpoints, along with practical general medical guideline considerations for caring for transgender populations.
