The I in Us is an Australian-based radio show about the intersex community, by the intersex community, for everyone.

On this week’s show, Paul welcomed Kajsa Wenman to the JOY 94.9 airwaves.

Originally hailing from the USA, Kajsa (she/her) was subjected to adverse childhood events that led to severe mental health issues. For the past 10 years, Kajsa has made use of various complementary medicine techniques to heal the root cause of her mental health issues, and in 2019 started a business to help others with similar problems.

Academically Kajsa earned an MA in Viking and Early Medieval Studies at Uppsala University in 2005 after completing her dissertation titled, “Intersex Conditions in the Viking Age: the written and genetic evidence.” It was then that Kajsa fell in love with Stockholm, started visiting annually and nowadays, calls Sweden home.

Having learned from a genetic test they are intersex just seven years ago, Kajsa soon became a member of the Intersex Sverige (Sweden) and is now the Secretary.

Kajsa is also an intersex creator, designing badges, t-shirts and intersex pride-themed fibre arts and jewellery.

Tune into JOY 94.9 Wednesday’s at 6pm for another exciting episode of The I in Us.
