Featuring as a guest on @nancypodcast live in Chicago this weekend at a really beautiful old school theatre (in my hometown) is definitely up there on my list of "favorite things about being an intersex educator & activist!" As the year wraps up, I'd like to remind everyone that no matter what they tell you -- sex and gender are not mutually exclusive and they're definitely NOT binary. Our society needs to keep chugging along towards understanding that everything is complex, and our bodies and genders are not exempt. Once society says goodbye to its current obsession with a binary way of viewing sex and gender (which has its roots the colonizer's worldview that was forced upon Native Americans), then I believe we all take one giant step forward towards the collective liberation we all are fighting for (especially queer, trans, GNC, & intersex people). If you'd like to book me to speak, show my short documentary, consult your high school's biology department, keynote, or give a workshop...please don't hesitate to send me an email [email protected] (link in bio). I'm currently beginning to book 2018 dates as we speak, and would love to visit you wherever youre are. (P.S. In 2017 I manifested that I wanted make intersex awareness my full-time gig with a secondary goal of trying to speak at more medical colleges and hospitals. Thanks to Rush University, UIC College of Medicine and UW-Milwaukee's School of Nursing I have begun to see the realization of that intention. In 2018, I want to manifest a few more things: 1. Speak and show my film to more clinicians/Nurses and medical students. 2. Build on the success of our small yet mighty group: Intersex People of Color for Justice (and collaborate on more actions and protests at Childrens' Hospitals). 3. Begin to lay the groundwork necessary to purchase a home one day for my dog Callie and I 🙃 Thank you for all your support, love, and guidance along the way! ▪️ beautiful photos cc: @loveandstrugglephotos • • • • • #✨ #intersexstories #intersex #lgbt #collegespeaker #lgbtq #lgbtqia #queer #nonbinary #gender #genderqueer #intersexisbeautiful #nb #trans #lgbtq🌈 #keynotespeaker #keynotepresenter #collegepresenter (at The Athenaeum Theatre - Chicago)
