What is the "I" in LGBTQIA+?
Today we're giving voice to the long-silenced intersex community.
According to Amnesty International, 1.7% of the population is born with intersex traits -- comparable to the number of people born with red hair.
On this episode you'll hear from Sean Saifa Wall (he/him/his) a Black queer intersex activist and rising scholar. Saifa is committed to racial equity and a radical vision of bodily autonomy for people with intersex variations. Currently, he is a Marie Skłowdoska-Curie fellow at the University of Huddersfield in England examining the erasure of intersex people from social policy in Ireland and England.

You can watch Saifa's (INCREDIBLE!) documentary Every Body on most streaming services.
