This might have been mentioned a while back so sorry if this is a repeat, but I've finally read 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson.
It's got a running theme through it that finds humans in the future becoming more genderfluid with it a pretty standard thing for people to be varieties of hermaphradite. One of the main characters is a wombman who has in the past fathered a child and also mothered one.
In another chapter is a mention of two men with heavily pregnant bellies.
It's a really interesting read anyway and the author is a great world creator. Another interesting twist, the main reason people are blurring genders is that it leads to a longer life. I also like the fact that it isn's sensationalised, it's just the way things are.
