Description
Born Both: An Intersex Life by Hida Viloria is a candid and provocative memoir that explores gender identity, self-acceptance, and love. Born with a body that doesn't fit standard definitions of male or female, the author's journey to discover her true identity was marked by both freedom and isolation. Raised without surgical alteration at birth, the author grew up in the body she was born with, only discovering the term "intersex" at age 26. She experimented with different identities, trying on femininity, androgyny, and even masculinity, but found that her fluidity could be both exciting and isolating. This memoir sheds light on the experiences of intersex individuals, revealing a complex web of emotions, challenges, and connections.
