Intersex Activist, Questions and Answers

What I believe:

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.  I also believe that if… Continue reading What I believe:
