It also tells of how my physicians talked my parents into allowing them to perform a gonadectomy (aka: the removal of my undescended testes). Doctors inflate the risk of gonadal cancer in order to get our parents to consent. While doctors tell our parents the likelihood of gonadal (testicular) is super high, current data suggest differently: http://bit.ly/2eZ77ZV -- Things You Can do to Take Action! -- Invite me to speak at your org or school: http://bit.ly/2figOxG -- Get to know the #Justice4MC campaign: http://bit.ly/2geZPyG -- Read up and join this intersex UN campaign: http://bit.ly/2euZj0n -- Donate to the Astraea Intersex Human Rights Fund: http://bit.ly/1sDiI1Q -- Create or join a worldwide Intersex Awareness Day Event: http://intersexday.org -- Translate captions to my videos: http://bit.ly/2gvzoYh Learn more: My EverydayFeminism.com blog posts: http://bit.ly/2geQqqP First intersex book I ever read: http://amzn.to/2dYHjf0 Thorough & amazing newer intersex book: http://amzn.to/2dXOl1Q My most recent intersex book rec: http://amzn.to/2ehmWv3 The BEST intersex doc: rhttp://amzn.to/2eaEDbS Buzfeed: What it’s Like to be Intersex: http://bit.ly/2eaD2CZ White House Panel (20 mins in): http://bit.ly/2e2wzJN About me: I'm pidgeon and I'm a non-binary intersex person, activist, blogger, filmmaker and youtuber. I grew up believing I was the only person like me--born with sex characteristics such as chromosomes, reproductive organs, and or genitalia not easily categorized as either male or female--but found out that there's indeed millions of intersex people around the world. In fact, according the UN's latest statistics, intersex people may be as common as natural born redheads! I want to live in a world where babies who are born intersex are no longer subjected to non-consensual, medically unnecessary, genital destroying "cosmetic" surgeries. These surgeries are considered by many, including the UN, to be violations of our human rights.
