Question about Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides... autobiographical?

I was told that somehow Middlesex is autobiographical in some way. I know that Eugenides is Greek. Is he also an intersexual? I thought he was married. How is this book autobiographical?

    He is not 'intersexual', but thanks for the new word. Its a novel. The thought that its autobiographical makes my head spin.

    "Middlesex" is a huge e book! I examine it approximately 3 years in the past & i grew to become into curious approximately utilizing it. Katchoo has given you distinctly lots the precis, however the e book is likewise approximately how everybody is haunted by utilizing guilt, for issues they shouldn't experience to blame approximately. it is likewise an replace on the Tiresias the blind Greek prophet who had experienced the two female and male intercourse. He were born a guy, yet observed 2 snakes screwing & struck them along with his team and grew to become into grew to become right into a female. The gods Zeus and Hera consulted with him as to who, guy or female, had extra relaxing for the period of intercourse. Cal or Callie, would not answer that query for us, whether we do hear that she had intercourse as a female, yet felt not something. And as a guy he appeared to not have consumated any courting with a female.
