"Hey babe, did I tell you about my penis? Can I have your number? Thanks."
Ah, good 'ol sex ed: A profound cringe-tainted milestone on the teenage hormone-muddled path toward ultimate....enlightenment, blue balls, crippling sexual frustration, passive aggressive text break ups? f*ck if I know, dude.

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.
