About this listen

"One of the most brilliant thought leaders I have been able to share space with."—Jonathan van Ness, from the foreword

"The must-read memoir of fall 2023."—Them

"Powerful and vital."—Madeline Miller, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Song of Achilles

From a celebrated activist on the forefront of fighting for intersex representation and rights—and a subject of the forthcoming documentary Every Body, from the filmmakers behind RBG—a funny, thought-provoking collection of essays about owning your identity and living your truth.

Two percent of the world’s population—the same percentage of humans who have naturally red hair—is born intersex. Yet many people aren’t even familiar with the word.

Intersex individuals are born with both male and female reproductive organs, yet 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.

Alicia Weigel is fighting back against the hate and fearmongering to protect the rights and lives of everyone. In this book, she boldly speaks out about working as a change agent in a state that actively attempts to pass legislation that would erase her existence, explores how we can reclaim bodily autonomy, and encourages us to amplify our voices to be heard.

Disarming, funny, charming, and powerful, this is a vital account of personal accomplishment that will open eyes and change minds.

Raw and Powerful

Alicia Roth Weigel peels back her life and puts it out there to help us understand how lives are impacted by our society that struggles to see beyond a binary world, both from an intersex view, but also from a bi-polar viewpoint. She makes this journey thought provoking, engaging, and inspirational. I can’t wait to see how her future unfolds.

Great read!

This book was eye opening for me. As a cis white woman trying my best to breakdown my prejudices and be the best ally to all oppressed peoples I feel like this book was a major in advancing my knowledge. I knew very little of intersex people before this book and now having a small understanding of their struggles I am ready to learn more about the intersex population and help break the oppression facing them. Great storytelling that is real and raw make this book an excellent jump off point for those looking to learn about intersex folks while also being entertained.

Humbled and Enlightened

BRAVA to Alicia’s honesty and bravery to educate those of us who are unaware of this gender identity.

Voice of a Movement

Alicia is a brilliant hottie who has lived a lot in her relatively short life. This book is revelatory and heralds the arrival of a Major Voice. Very worth your time. Can’t wait to see what she does next.

Wonderful!

What an incredible story! Thank you to Alicia for being so open in sharing her experiences. I look forward to all the positive change ushered forth by this book as well as the positive impact of her activism. I’ll be watching and listening and cheering for all the more successes to come (and hoping for more books with those incredible stories!).

Relatable

I was not born intersex. But as an outgoing, outspoken female in a patriarchal society, this book was extremely relatable. I have already recommended it to multiple friends.
