The Binary Narrative - Intersex (3/3) | Our Voices, Our Choices

Show notes

What does it mean to have a body that the majority of society believes does not exist or should not exist? A body that exposes as a matter of opinion what many believe to be a fact? A body that goes beyond the narrow categories of man or woman? Julius Kaggwa from Uganda, Eliana Rubashkyn from New Zealand, and Irene Kuzemko from Moscow are intersex, or inter*. Actually, in all modern countries and societies, a binary understanding of gender dominates - allowing only two options: Man or Woman. In this episode, we learn first-hand about the struggles that intersex people face in this heteronormative world of ours, and their efforts to achieve self-determination.

A podcast with:
• Irene Kuzemko, OII Europe and Intersex Russia.
• Eliana Rubashkyn, pharmacist and activist
• Julius Kaggwa, SIPD, Support Initiative for people with atypical sex development
