Is it possible to move beyond the male-female gender binary system? What happens to gender theory when we consider sex and gender identities as more than just 'male' or 'female'? Crucially, what are the implications of gender and sexual fluidity and multiplicity for social policy, citizenship, new social movements and democracy?.

She explores the social implications of equality for transgender, intersex, lesbian, gay and bisexual people, and assesses conflicts within these communities themselves.
