The Intermediate Sex (full title: The Intermediate Sex: A Study of Some Transitional Types of Men and Women) was a 1908 work by Edward Carpenter expressing his views on homosexuality. Carpenter argues that "uranism", as he terms homosexuality, was on the increase, marking a new age of sexual liberation.[1] The work was an influence on Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon, both young war-poets and officers in England's trenches when they met.[2]
