Title: The End of the World as We Know It
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Rating: G
Summary: John Sheppard lived in a small house by the end of the world, which is just a few miles to the south of the left end of the rainbow. It was a solitary life, the house surrounded by nothing but long grass and wild flowers and a few trees in the distance… and, of course, the sheer cliff dropping straight down into infinity about fifteen feet from the back door.

Um, I would just like to point out that even biological sex isn't necessarily simple. 1 in 500 males have Klinefelter's syndrome (chromosome structure: XXY), 1 in 1000 have XYY syndrome. 1 in 1000 girls have triple X syndrome, and 1 in 2500 have Turner syndrome (chromosome structure: single X). The intersexuality page at Wikipedia is a good place to start if you want more information.

Just something to think about.

Absolutely agreed. I actually started writing a lot of stuff about intersex issues, but I remembered that a lot of the intersex community do not want to be tied into the transgendered/transsexual community and issues and, out of respect for that, tried not to make people too confused about where these issues tie in together and where they don't.

Thank you for the links. Bunns - could we include these in the roundup?

Huh. My grandmother has Turner's syndrome. I didn't know it was a chromosomal disorder. Interesting!
