This is one of those books that as you read it, you can tell how incredibly important this is. Kimberly’s story is built on so much trauma but her passion and drive to effect change is incredible. This is a book that has its gaze set firmly on the future and it is looking positive. I couldn’t recommend this enough.

TW: intersexphobia, internalised intersexphobia, surgery without consent, trauma, ptsd, burnout, disassociation, gaslighting, adoption outside home country (I know this is triggering for some)
I sobbed while reading this (my similar experience was not being informed of my autism diagnosis). A call to arms to stop Dr's and parents hurting their children for the sake of 'sociatal normalcy'.

very weirdly written: big chunks of extracted text from UN resolutions, a choppy structure that disappears towards the end, a lot of repetition. An interesting journey and perspective, but felt the writing let it down.
