The book takes the case of Olympic runner Caster Semenya as a starting point to explore the issue of determining sex, and the ways in which intersexuality as a "threat" to the distinction between men/women, homosexuality/heterosexuality and white/black, causes medical controversy and emotional as well as political and cultural turmoil.
