  ""One of the most brilliant thought leaders I have been able to share space with.""—Jonathan van Ness, from the foreword 
  ""The must-read memoir of fall 2023.""—Them 
  ""Powerful and vital.""—Madeline Miller, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Song of Achilles 
  From a celebrated activist on the forefront of fighting for intersex representation and rights—and a subject of the forthcoming documentary Every Body, from the filmmakers behind RBG—a funny, thought-provoking collection of essays about owning your identity and living your truth. 
  Two percent of the world’s population—the same percentage of humans who have naturally red hair—is born intersex. Yet many people aren’t even familiar with the word. 
  Intersex individuals are born with both male and female reproductive organs, yet many are stripped of their identity at birth when a parent designates M or F on a birth certificate. That subjective choice is often followed by invasive, life-changing surgeries, performed without the individual’s consent. Intersex people have become a target of politicians, attacked for who they are and threatened by legislation that attempts to categorize and define them. 
  Alicia Weigel is fighting back against the hate and fearmongering to protect the rights and lives of everyone. In this book, she boldly speaks out about working as a change agent in a state that actively attempts to pass legislation that would erase her existence, explores how we can reclaim bodily autonomy, and encourages us to amplify our voices to be heard. 
  Disarming, funny, charming, and powerful, this is a vital account of personal accomplishment that will open eyes and change minds.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  From Hollywood to the Power Plant. From poverty to the spotlight. From heartbreak to hope. 
  James Yun’s journey is not just the story of a wrestler—it’s the story of a fighter. Growing up in a broken home, raised in poverty and strict religious control, James refused to let his beginnings define his ending. His dream of becoming a professional wrestler carried him from neighborhood trampolines to the WCW Power Plant, and eventually onto national television as part of WCW’s high-flying Jung Dragons. 
  But the road was never easy. He was the youngest wrestler ever signed to WCW—only to lose it all within months. He faced rejection, betrayal, and heartbreak. Yet every time life knocked him down, James got back up. From late nights at “Good Ol’ Days” to the bright lights of WCW Saturday Night, from the collapse of WCW to his second chance with WWE—this is the story of a boy who became a man chasing his destiny. 
  Yun’s Time is more than wrestling—it’s about grit, sacrifice, and the relentless belief that no matter how many times the world counts you out, you can still rise. 
  Step inside the ring with James Yun. His fight is just beginning.
