By adolescence, being… Continue reading Surviving ‘Psychic​ Mutilation’, and how I was psychiatrically and medically violated and erased.

My Anatomical Intersex Body Does Not Create My Gender Identity

  Here is my blog in response to lots of people assuming that my gender identity would be "Gender Neutral" due to being born intersex.
