No subtitles available.
Title:
Какво означава да бъдеш интерсексуален и как фалшивата бинарна полова система ни вреди
Speaker:
Susannah Temko
Description:

For intersex people -- those born with sex characteristics outside the traditional definitions of female and male -- the stakes to appear "normal" are high. Drawing on her personal experience, Susannah Temko reveals the shame, prejudice and harm faced by the intersex community, as they're forced to conform to a binary understanding of sex that ultimately hinders their health and well-being. She calls on us all to discard outdated notions of biological sex and accept the complexity within humanity.
