According to the Intersex Society of North America, intersex describes a person born with sex chromosomes, genitalia or an internal reproductive system that are neither clearly male nor female. In first-person prose, Thea Hillman presents her memoirs in a series of compelling short stories that take a no-holds barred look at sex, gender, family and community. Whether she is reflecting on quirky family tendencies, queerness or recounting scintillating adventures in San Francisco's sex clubs, Hillman's brave and fierce vision for societal change shines through.
According to a special reoprt by the Traditional Values Coalition entitled "Homosexual Urban Myth," Thea Hillman is a radical who conducts erotic readings to promote the "homosexual revolution." She frequently does presentations about sex and gender at colleges, conferences, and festival throughout the US.
