Intersex People

Hey all!

I don't know if you heard, but Australia recently elected the world's first openly intersex person.

He ran as an independent Councillor and on a campaign to represent the community.

He speaks openly about his struggle with his identity as he was raised female.

I think this is a huge win for intersex people. Hopefully by having someone in the public eye, it will help "normalize" it and rid some of the stigmas, and taboos surrounding being intersex.
