You should read Queer Theory, Gender Theory by Riki Wilchins! http://www.amazon.com/Queer-Theory-Gender-Instant-Primer/dp/1555837980
It summarizes gender and queer theory pretty well. It gave me insight into my own sexuality and gender identity. It may help you too... If not it's definitely interesting to read anyway.
good starting points can be found
http://www.amazon.com/Queer-Theory-Gender-Instant-Primer/dp/1555837980/ref=pd_sim_b4
and
http://www.amazon.com/GenderQueer-Voices-Beyond-Sexual-Binary/dp/1555837301/ref=pd_sim_b5
although of course the real issues are far more diverse than two starter level books can convey.
