OT: I found this book an excellent read on human and ambiguous sexuality:

Third Sex, Third Gender: Beyond Sexual Dimorphism in Culture and History Paperback – June 6, 1996
http://www.amazon.com/Third-Sex-Gender-Dimorphism-Culture/dp/0942299825

The first 100 pages are there with Amazon's 'Look Inside' feature as well as the entire footnotes and index.
