For those of you who've talked to me about my studies in college or have been following this journal for a while, you'll know that I have some pretty passionate views about the treatment intersex individuals receive at the hands of modern medicine

I think it's interesting. And Middlesex - I don't know what you think of the book, but I think maybe it helped bring this sort of thing more to The Public View and all that. Good article.

I love Middlesex--cultural significance aside, it's just such a gorgeous piece of fiction. It didn't occur to me that its publication might've had an impact, but you well could be right.

Well, it won a Pulitzer. And it was definitely a sympathetic narrative.

Thanks for the link. A good read.

Oh, I finally finished Read My Lips. Turns out I only had 1 chapter left for months and just didn't realize it because of the appendices at the end. Reading that NY times article made me realize how reading Read My Lips really helped me to break down some prejudices I had had without even realizing it.

Excellent article. I'm very glad to see it was written.
