In recognition of Intersex Awareness Day on 26th October, the Big Bi+ Questions team had a big chat about how bisexuality intersects with the intersex community.
We were so grateful to be joined by two wonderful guests: Training and Communications Co-Ordinator for Inter-Action, Margie McCumstie; and professional Intersex agitator and co host of JOY’s weekly Intersex show, The I In Us, Cody Smith.
We got to know Margie and Cody a little better and discussed how they’ve navigated their identities and the intersections they exist in.
Get to know more about the Intersex community at interaction.org.au and affirm the Darlington Statement at darlington.org.au.
You can catch Cody and co-host Paul on The I In Us, live on Thursdays at 6pm AEST, or catch their podcast at joy.org.au/theiinus.
If any of the topics in this episode brought up difficult or intense feelings for you, we encourage you to reach out for support from a trusted friend, community, or mental health professional. You can find a list of organisations you can turn to for support at joy.org.au/support.
