Nonfiction<\/h2>\n

If you are looking for a book that takes a more scientific approach to sexuality, then Bisexual and Pansexual Identities<\/a> by Nikki Hayfield or Gender(s)<\/a> by Kathryn Bond Stockton might be the books for you. In Bisexual and Pansexual Identities<\/em>, Hayfield draws on research from psychology and social sciences for an in-depth look at plurisexual identities.<\/p>\n

Gender(s)<\/em> discusses the total strangeness of gender as a concept including how race and money can dramatically shape everybody’s gender. Stockton provides an impressive array of exhibits to consider, including dolls and their new gendering, the thrust of Jane Austen and Lil Nas X, gender identities according to women’s colleges, gay and transgender ballroom scenes, and much more.<\/p>\n
