Cheryl
Chase, training her horse, in northern California, is
the person who brought the plight of intersexed (people
born with ambiguous genitalia) out of the closet. She
and a group of activists, "Hermaphrodites With
Attitude," are fighting to prevent pediatric surgeons
from operating on healthy babies born with atypical
genitalia: Let the person whose body it is determine
for themselves how it should look, when they are ready
to make that decision.
