Inverse Cowgirl: A Memoir by Alicia Roth Weigel
Deeply appreciated the author's vulnerability and discussion of her journey as an intersex woman, as well as introductory information about intersex experience as a whole.
Aside from that, this does read a bit choppy as if we are reading a collection of the author's experiences rather than a cohesive memoir. Other reviewers have noted that this kind of sounds like the author's resume, and I can't disagree (though I will add, it also felt like reading a bunch of Instagram captions and piecing together a life through the pictures of vacations and shaking hands with influential people). Much of the book is us following the author as she lists all of the things she has done and the people they have met - sometimes creating a question in the reader of why this was included.
All in all, though, I'm glad I read this and I would still recommend it, especially to anyone whose prior knowledge of intersex had only been taught through a sensationalized lens.
