I am an Intersex Survivor and Educator:

I emancipated my true gender in 2014, after being assigned the wrong gender at birth. Here is my autobiography. I started giving education talks in 2015. This is my life work and passion to help children born like me.

What is Intersex?

According to the United Nations’ Intersex Fact Sheet: Intersex people are born with sex characteristics that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies. Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of intersex natural bodily variations, hormonal variations, and chromosomal variations. In some cases, intersex traits are visible at birth while in others, they are not apparent until puberty or may not be physically apparent at all. Even though 1.7% of the population is born intersex, about the same number of people born with red hair, the term intersex is not well understood. Us intersex people have been erased in many ways from the view of society. This is why education is crucial so that we can change society and make this world a safer place for all of us.

Why I Saved My life and Now Help Others:

October 20th, 2018 I became a TEDxJacksonville Speaker. I will be adding Youtube Linke to that shortly. Once it is edited. Below is an audio clip, from the PFLAG National Conference in October 2017, where I share why I didn’t commit suicide and why I decide to save my life to help change this world.
