"So when it came to finding out I was intersex, and I saw how all these surgeries happened because of the idea that everyone has to be either a man or a woman, I thought, 'Well, I have tried to pick my "true gender," and the truth is they are both me.' There was really no community around that and even in the intersex community it was still stigmatized, but I just felt there was no way I could hide it. In the same way that I wasn't going to pretend that I was white and not Latinx, I couldn't pretend that I was binary just to try to escape this."<ref name="Pham" /> | |||
