Sean Saifa Wall... on the intersex rights movement

What is the "I" in LGBTQIA+?

Today we&aposre 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&aposll 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.
