Activist Alicia Roth Weigel tells Salon what she wants everyone to know about intersex people. “We exist, our bodies are born this way,” she said. “We are not mythical, legendary creatures. We are certainly not monsters. We are human beings just like the rest of y'all.” The author of the new memoir “Inverse Cowgirl” opens up about the unnecessary and non-consensual surgeries she endured as a baby and how they still affect her today, how the fight for intersex rights is tied to attacks on transgender people across the United States and how she found the courage to come out in front of the Texas state legislature.
