Story of My Life Ongoing, by C.S. Cobb

A powerful YA novel featuring a confident intersex child facing down the innumerable challenges posed by confused and controlling adults and institutions. Corey Cobb was born intersex, but because Corey ís father and stepmother didn't make a big deal of it, it isn't until Corey ís dad dies suddenly and Corey is back with a disapproving mother that making a gender choice becomes an issue. Corey is now legally old enough to refuse medical intervention--but not old enough to prevent choosing not to choose being considered by Corey ís mother to be a psychiatric problem. While in the youth psych ward, Corey meets Kim, diagnosed as anorexic, and together, the teens discover important, perhaps catastrophic, truths about each one ís past.
