Lexi Breen found out that she was intersex when she was an adult. Lexi has a condition that means she has three sex chromosomes (XXY) which causes many different health problems, in addition to variations of sexual characteristics. In this episode she shares her experiences of living with gender incongruence - a mismatch between a person's internal sense of gender and the sex they were assigned at birth. And how she felt when she "accidentally" find out she is in fact XXY. 

Please note that this episode was recorded before the UK Supreme Court ruling on the meaning of 'sex' in the Equality Act of 2010. We hope to speak to Lexi again later in the season to discuss her thoughts on this ruling.
