- Summary
- "When Georgiann Davis was a teenager, her doctors discovered that she possessed XY chromosomes, marking her as intersex. Rather than share this information with her, they withheld the diagnosis in order to 'protect' her gender identity; it was years before Davis would see her own medical records as an adult and learn the truth."
