"The Wise and the Mad (Futanari Saga)" by Francis Porretto
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/107049948X/Book number three of a four book science fiction series. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback that the author self published on Amazon in 2019 that I bought new. I have purchased the fourth book in the series and will read it soon.
This may be the weirdest science fiction series that I have ever read. And I have read thousands of science fiction and fantasy books over my many years. The series is a very interesting take on what the future genetic engineers may bring us. This is fairly along the same lines as the avian children in "When the Wind Blows" by James Patterson, the protomolecule in "Leviathan Wakes" by James S. A. Corey, or the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" by Michael Crichton but uses a more shocking mutation to get the author's point across.
This book is set in 2030. A neurophysiologist who developed a technique using nanobots to change a person's desires has been requested by the Catholic church to develop a method to tell what a person's sexual desire is. The homosexual community in the USA is very agitated and demonstrates in front of the clinic. A homosexual advocacy group is suing the neurophysiologist to get control of her nanobot desire change method. There is no sex in the book but some implied sex. The sex slaver who was cloning Futanaris and raising them to be sex slaves has committed ritual suicide in Japan.
In the Futanari Saga Universe, 100 to 200 Futanaris are naturally born every year. They appear to be male at birth but become mostly female at puberty. Many are murdered or ostracized by their families. The author's definition of a Futanari is female appearance, female size, and XX chromosomes with male genitals instead of female genitals. Yeah, you read that correctly as this does not match the Wikipedia definition of Futanari that I looked up. But, somebody has cloned Futanaris and raised them as incredibly expensive sex slaves.
