Intersex w/ Maria Tridas - Ep. 158

We're shining a much needed spotlight on the "I" in LGBTQIA with
video producer/host and intersex activist Maria Tridas! Being
intersex is about as common as being a natural redhead, so why is
being intersex treated as a rare anomaly instead of a naturally
occurring biological variation? How has our understanding of being
intersex changed over the years, and how can we be better allies?
What do many intersex people not even know that they're intersex?
We cover these questions and much more. Please note: Although Maria
is very comfortable discussing details about their body, not all
intersex individuals feel the same. This is a very personal and
individual topic. Please do not assume that intersex, NB, trans
folks want to or should discuss details of their bodies. We also
talk about Melody's trip down South to see her family, make a case
for gay athletes to hook up with each other, and talk up the
amazing lineup for our fundraiser to save the lesbian bars!
Finally, we answer a question from a listener who is considering
one night stands now that her relationship has "restructured."
