Why read it?

1 author picked Confessions of a Teenage Hermaphrodite as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I met Lianne while writing my dissertation on intersex people and Christian theology. Knowing her, her story, and her faith changed my life forever. We went on to collaborate in educating others about people born outside the male/female binary and eventually created a documentary to share her story and the stories of other intersex people of faith.
