When someone tells me repeatedly that I’m not intersex, choosing the much-maligned “DSD” instead and quotes outdated research? Time for the block button. One of those days.
On Monday, July 20, I'll be at @brooklinebooksmith with Kimberly Zeiselman to discuss My Name Was Baby and all things intersex. I'm so excited to chat with this luminary of intersex activism, and I hope to see you there. #books #intersex #shoplocal #booktour #memoir buff.ly/0Fqe9RC

Had some family time at the lake this weekend. Did my best to avoid the rampant MAGA elements down there and just enjoy family time.
