| Summary: | This welcome book addresses an important ethical issue that is currently vexing many. Professor Vincent Gil has long experience of teaching and counselling evangelicals in an American private Christian university (Vanguard) and goes to commendable length seeking to persuade others to take a more compassionate approach to intersex and transgender people. He does this by setting out in considerable detail the scientific evidence about intersex variations and gender dysphoria and distinguishing between these two medical conditions and what he labels as ‘a social movement of expressive individualism and self-representation’. Leaving the latter on one side for the moment, it is worth rehearsing some of the important points that he makes about the two medical conditions in order to address the claims of some conservative evangelicals. |
