icarus's reaction to learning that his love interest, helios, is intersex in icarus by k. ancrum is one of the sweetest thing i've read in a long time and having somewhat recently read alicia roth weigel's memoir inverse cowgirl in which she talked a lot about the shame and confusion of growing up intersex without the proper understanding or acceptance of her identity, i think it's really wonderful that intersex teenagers can read a book where a character like them is treated with such respect and love
#yeah i just thought that was a cool part of the book#icarus#k ancrum#k. ancrum#books#lulu speaks#lulu reads icarus#lulu reads

i finished Inverse Cowgirl (memoir by intersex activist Alicia Roth Weigel), I got some stuff out of it but looking forward to reading more from other folks. Just started The Race to be Myself by Caster Semenya
#one thing i learned from IC is that you can get osteoporosis from insufficient hormones#(which i would guess is related to hormone blockers being linked to decreased bone density...? if i'm saying that right)#but so yeah if you cut out someone's hormone-producing organs without their consent#and then give them hormones in the form of birth control - including the week of placebos - you'll never guess what happens#due to not getting any hormones for a WEEK every month holy shit#i don't think i ever realized how important hormones are (aside from like. causing puberty)? just never thought about it#also yeah apparently intersex healthcare is just. not very good right now. as evidenced by someone thinking the placebos were a good idea#like even beyond the extremely fucked up stuff that is done to kids. folks also can't get good care as adults

to elaborate on my book buying problem. went into dymocks to potentially buy jenette mccurdy i'm glad my mum died but then flicking through it i thought maybe i wouldn't actually be that interested reading it. like idk the way it's written seems a little uninteresting to me. huge fan in theory but alas. anyway so there i was in the biographies section. not normally my preferred genre. though that's a lie i guess because i like memoir. i like personal essays. but usually the biographies section of franchise bookstores is full of like. sports stars and actors and other mainstream and kind of boring celebrities writing about their lives in boring ways. anyway this section was far more diverse and interesting and i came away with elliot page pageboy alicia roth weigel inverse cowgirl and michelle zauner crying in H mart. also arrived in the mail is rachel kushner the hard crowd essays which i'd ordered online. now what the hell am i supposed to read first

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have something in common, something that, for the most part, they have been encouraged to hide. It's so little talked about, in fact, that the greater population may not realize just how prevalent they are.
These people are intersex – an umbrella term for variations in reproductive or sex anatomy, and could show up in someone's chromosomes, genitals, testes or ovaries. It's estimated that 1.7% have intersex traits, and 0.7% are recommended to have surgical intervention.
Documentary "Every Body" (in theaters Friday) aims to give this community a platform. The film offers a history of how treatments for intersex people became commonplace; how intersex people are often lost in wider LGBTQ+ conversations; and how through coming together and raising their voices, their stories can finally be heard.
"Who's speaking up for the human rights of intersex people? And the answer to that question, of course, is intersex people themselves," says director Julie Cohen.
Several activists – Sean Saifa Wall, 43; Alicia Roth Weigel, 31; and River Gallo, 31 – want you to hear their loud, proud voices.
"I hope that people allow themselves to be moved (by the film) and be moved in such a way to really question what they've learned about, what they haven't learned about and to be curious about themselves," Wall says. "We've all been lied to," Wall adds, when it comes to the limited knowledge we've been given on sex, gender, and the intersex community.
