Not sure if this qualifies, but Orlando immediately springs to mind, as does Jeanette Winterson's Passion and The Power Book.

Also not sure if this qualifies (that's going to be a recurring theme...) but what about Iain Banks's The Wasp Factory? That's at least approaching the sci-fi/fantasy boundary...

ETA: And I'm guessing that some manga would feature this, some of which would be fantasy/sci-fi?

I found this likely list.

Oh! *palmface* I can't believe I didn't remember this. The Breeds of Man by FM Busby is set in a world that managed to produce a vaccine for HIV... and, a few years after it has been distributed to everyone, they discover the side-effect: sterility. So then the scientists work to solve that, and end up producing babies... that change sex depending on whether or not they're near someone's ovulation cycle. It's a bit pulpy, but that's why I love it (it's an 80s trashy sci-fi novel), and most of the kids, having been assumed to be boys or girls and then experiencing a change mid-way, spend the rest of the time pretending to be boys (or girls), in order not to let their secret escape.

Plus there's explosions.
