It is impossible for me to please everyone in the intersex and transgender community. I do the best I can to respect everyone. I always say: when you have met ONE intersex person you have met ONE intersex person.

Can you imagine being told your body is wrong at three? Somebody else was in control.… Continue reading Poem: Somebody else was in control
