Alex Jürgen is inter-sexual. A hermaphrodite. An individual whose existence confuses the world's fastidious divisions of male and female. One baby in every two thousand is of ambiguous gender. In Alex' case, when he was two years old, doctors recommended the use of surgery to correct his natural aberration. After plastic surgeons had amputated his penis and testicles and created a vagina, Alex grew up in his small village as a girl who wears size XXL.
