"The Gay 100"

by Paul Russel (1995)

In this book, Russel ranks 100 gay and lesbian luminaries at his own discretion.

To name a few of the people put into a ranking, the 3rd is Oscar Wilde, 20th is Shakespeare, and 99th is Madonna.

Wanna know more? Open the book and find out! But some of the names won't strike you if you are not American, I guess.

The writer from my country, Yukio Mishima is in, though!

Peeking such talented people acknowledging their homo/bisexuality, it occured to me that humans live in the middle of gender.

Are u male or female?

How confident can you be with which sex you belong to?

Referred as "sex", the sex of body and the sex of brain are determined at different time, not necessarily congenial to each other.

Without special catalyst(event) to happen to, a mammal is supposed to grow as female, even though its gene is XY.

A male/female sex hormone has a lot do with the construction of your gender system.
This hormone should work at a suitable time with a desirable amount of it, or your body and brain may chose contradicting sex.

Individual sex is not something you can put in order.
The study toward the discovery is still keeps going, for human is much more complicated than any other mammals.
