Anyone know of any sci-fi fiction with interesting takes on gender/sexuality/biology? (self.printsf)

So I'm not super familiar with science fiction outside of the occasional story in anthologies, but something I'm aware occasionally pops up tends to involve futuristic interpretation of gender and sexuality, along with odd and out there biology. I think it'd be very fun to read a book that discusses these topics, however I don't know where to start.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

There are quite a few I've read in the past, but I'd have to do some Googling to try and remember the authors and titles.

I read this article not too long ago that is right on this topic:

One story I do remember is The Player of Games by Iain M Banks.
