"How You Can Help End Intersex Genital Mutilation," video recording of my presentation in August, 2014 at the Genital Autonomy Conference in Boulder, CO, which I've been told was amazing. Special thanks to photographer and videographer James Loewen for making and sharing for Intersex Awareness Day, October 26th, 2017. #IAD2017
NOTE: Since this presentation was given, I have begun asking expecting parents if they know whether they're expecting a boy, girl, OR intersex child. Also, there was a 2012 study performed in the Netherlands and Belgium on intersex adults, including some that have not been subjected to IGM, but the results were inconclusive.
