Dividing people according to gender is as nonsensical as racial apartheid. This manifesto shows that traditional male and female roles are defined neither by genetics, nor genitals, nor biology, but by social attitudes.

From the Back Cover
Dividing people according to gender is as pernicious and nonsensical as racial apartheid. In this bold and provocative manifesto, Martine Rothblatt shows clearly that traditional male and female roles are defined neither by genetics, nor genitals, nor biology, but by social attitudes. These constricting roles cause utter misery to countless people, and must be swept away in favour of a radical continuum of gender and sexuality.
"'The Apartheid of Sex' is a groundbreaking book. Rothblatt makes a reasoned call to dismantle a two-sex system. She would replace it with one of multiple sexes and sexuality. Both her biological and her sociological analyses are sound. Read this book and you will glimpse a possible future in which people place themselves on a continuum of sex and gender. Some will find this vision threatening, others will experience it as liberating and exhilarating."
PROFESSOR ANNE FAUSTO-STERLING, Author of 'Myth and Gender'
"This provocative treatise may eventually take its place beside the classic feminist works of Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem and Germaine Greer."

Apartheid of Sex
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
