When Chris Arnone was born in Independence, Missouri, nobody could tell what sex he was. For the first few days of his life, until a chromosome test confirmed he was a boy, his parents called him Baby. From this first, literal “coming out,” it was clear he was different. His life was punctuated by a string of surgeries and trips to the ER, unrecognizable and confusing diagrams in sex ed class, and the need to preface every intimate encounter by explaining his medical history. But it wasn’t until he was 37 that he discovered he didn’t have “birth defects”—he was intersex.

Unveiling My True Rainbow is a deeply personal and inspiring memoir that invites readers into the intimate journeys of two individuals, sharing their experiences of coming out as LGBTQ+ and embracing their authentic selves.
