“Intersex is just a part of who I am, like my hair. It doesn’t define me. I am intersex and I’m proud!”
“'Doctors think they have to normalize the baby,’ says Odiele, who is dedicated to stopping what she calls ‘crazy surgeries that are irreversible and nonconsensual, done when you are much too young.’”
“I am proud to be working with InterACT. I hope that by telling my story more people get outraged at the human rights abuses suffered by intersex children around the world.” End image description.]
