Questions for Katie Baratz

Submitted by skumar on Tue, 09/23/2008 - 10:12pm.

Katie Baratz

I would be interested in knowing:

a) If she felt a sense of disconnection between her mind and her body. In her experience, I would like to know if experienced a clear distinction between what she felt in her mind and what she saw in her body.

b) How she defines Feminism and whether or not she considers herself a feminist.

c) As a medical student who is most probably familiar with the medical jargon/terms, I would like to know how Katie feels about referring to intersex as "a medical condition." I wonder how much of a role this experience has played out in her role a doctor.

d) What incited her decision to become a medical doctor. Also, if she wrote her medical school essay on being intersex? mention it in her medical school interviews?
