Inhaltsangabe
"Cynthia Vacca Davis' Intersexion is a profoundly eye-opening, challenging, and ultimately inspiring exploration of the journey." (Rev. Brandan Robertson, author of Dry Bones and Holy Wars: A Call for Social and Spiritual Renewal)
So many of us are finding ourselves at an intersection where we must pick either the safety of our communities or stepping into life as our true selves. It can be a defining moment, and sometimes one that our very lives depend upon.
Intersexion is a life-giving true story about choosing between social acceptance or health, fear or authenticity. Cynthia, an adjunct professor with a trunk full of ungraded papers and snack wrappers, has been an LGBTQIA+ ally for years—in convenient ways. She enjoys the company of her queer friends—but her support isn’t risky; it hasn’t cost her anything. Until she meets Danny. The youngest child in a conservative evangelical family, Danny played the role of dutiful daughter—Dani, with an “i”—which was safer than jeopardizing faith and family. Seemingly born female, yet desperate to be seen as the boy and then man he truly is, Danny kept playing along, until his life and health depended on one thing: the truth.
Told in both Danny’s and Cynthia’s voices, Intersexion is a moving, hopeful exploration of the cost of being known—as an intersex minority, ally, or asker of difficult questions—and what it means to come into one’s own. It’s a book for so many of us who are desperately craving a more authentic life, and a story about the intersections we find ourselves in by no choice of our own.
