Two percent of the world's population is born intersex, yet many people aren't even familiar with the word. Intersex individuals are born with both male and female reproductive organs. Many are stripped of their identity at birth when a parent designates M or F on a birth certificate. That subjective choice is often followed by invasive, life-changing surgeries, performed without the individual's consent. Intersex people have become a target of politicians, attacked for who they are and threatened by legislation that attempts to categorize and define them. Weigel boldly speaks out about working as a change agent in a state that actively attempts to pass legislation that would erase her existence. Her book explores how we can reclaim bodily autonomy, and encourages us to amplify our voices to be heard: it is a vital account of personal accomplishment that will open eyes and change minds. -- adapted from Goodreads
