a sort-of-essay about 1610 Jessica Drew, medical trauma, and intersex rage
main text sources: Intersex in the Age of Ethics (1999), ordinary/dear ladan/to a doctor who said we had to agree to disagree by Emi Koyama (2002-3); the Intersex Initiative (2003-2010)
(Note: above links include explicit material. For more contemporary + PG13ish discussion of the topic, I like the blog Intersex Roadshow for further reading.)
