A Male/Female Mosaic Brain Proves We Need the Self-Determination of Gender
People have tried to create the myth that the brain is either male or female. However, the science around this is very skewed, biased, and is always proven to be not good science at all. I can see why transgender people, and their doctors, psychiatrists, psychologist, would be eager to want to prove the… Continue reading A Male/Female Mosaic Brain Proves We Need the Self-Determination of Gender

Since I know few have been educated about people like me, I try to simply explain why that was not an appropriate thing to say. I have to have much patience because… Continue reading Comments that people say that hurt me, as a person born intersex who is reclaiming their true gender.

Here is another sad example of Intersex Erasure:
Recently they have been trying to get the senate to pass a bill that would require Sex Ed to be LGBTQ inclusive. This would be progress, this would be awesome even. However, it still does not include intersex, nor the teaching of our intersex bodies. It is another example of intersex erasure. Below I explain… Continue reading Here is another sad example of Intersex Erasure:
