A letter I shared on: Mx. Anunnaki Ray, Gender/Intersex Activist Facebook Page: Sending a note, to simply say thank you again, for listening, and sharing this page. It is sometimes hard for people to hear about a culture different than their own, especially when daily the news can be so depressing and unimaginable. I have… Continue reading Adding the “I” responsibly to LGBT
I believe that the Self-Determination of Gender is a human right for all humans. Gender to me, is like our personality. It has nothing to do with our genitals, reproductive systems, chromosomes or hormones. Therefore a woman can have a female penis, and a man can have a man's vagina.
