For those of you who don't know Alice Dreger here's a bit of background.

Alice Dreger is an acclaimed author and professor at Northwestern University's medical school. She wrote Galileo's Middle Finger, a bioethical book discussing her "activism against surgical 'correction' of intersex individuals' genitalia." She's also given a TED talk on human anatomy and why we let it define who we are. In short, Dreger knows her stuff.

This should go with out saying, but SPOILERS AHEAD!
