I feel like the feminine and masculine energetically lives inside of me equally. Being intersex has really taught me that it's OK to hold both of those things equally, to have them mean equal things to you, and that you don't have to try to be one or the other."<ref name="advo_Rive">{{Cite web |title=River Gallo: Intersex People Are 'Objectified By The Medical Community' |last=Masters |first=Jeffrey |work=advocate.com |date=7 September 2018 |access-date=9 April 2020 |url= https://www.advocate.com/people/2018/9/07/lgbtqa-podcast-river-gallo-being-intersex | "In my undergrad, I'd always go through these swings where I was really flamboyant and just feeling myself.
