This kind of self-love and determination has guided me my entire life. I woke up today needing that belief more than ever.

10 Books About Intersex Identity
Stories by and for intersex people are sparse. Throughout history, stigma has prevented intersex authors from publicly sharing their identities, so we don’t have an extensive intersex archive.
