"In my undergrad, I'd always go through these swings where I was really flamboyant and just feeling myself. And then I'd have these moments where it was just like, no, I need to be more masculine or dress more conservatively. Now, knowing I'm intersex makes me feel sometimes feminine and sometimes masculine. I wake up and can be whoever I want to be that day. 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}}</ref> | |||
