Sean Saifa Wall... on the intersex rights movement
Description
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.
