On this week’s show, Paul welcomed Carolyn (CJ) Hannaford, an intersex woman from South Australia to the JOY 94.9 airwaves.

Born in 1952, CJ grew up in an era of secrecy, shame and ignorance about her Intersex variation. CJ says that she may as well have been a dinosaur for the oddity she perceived herself to be, and it wasn’t until the age of 19 years that CJ finally learned she is intersex, in a most unexpected and confronting way.

CJ has been an intersex advocate in Australia for many years, including being the South Australian, Western Australian and Northern Territory Peer Support Rep for Intersex Peer Support Australia.

On Wednesday 13 November 2024 CJ delivered the South Australian Rainbow Advocacy Alliance (SARAA) Ian Purcell Oration at the Adelaide Feast Festival, South Australia’s Annual Arts and Cultural Festival – with a talk titled, “Were There Intersex Dinosaurs?”

Please join us as we unpack CJ’s oration and her intersex story.

Born and raised in Illinois, USA, Jason was born with an innate variation in sex characteristics, but like so many intersex people, Jason endured the consequences of this since long before he knew why his life had been so challenging and why he had felt different to his peers since the age of four.

As the years passed Jason defied the opinion of his teachers and peers to complete high school and university degrees, and like so many people within the intersex community, became an advocate for his community, passionate that no other kids or teens would go through what he did, physically, cognitively, or socially.

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.

On this week’s show, Paul welcomed intersex artists Houston (USA) based Tracy Postert and UK-based Lucie Corden.

Tracy Postert’s parents learned she is intersex when she was 5 years old and has been on estrogen since age 12. She didn’t learn she is intersex until age 50. Tracy became a social activist, gained a Bachelor’s degree, a PhD in bio-medicine, a Masters in Science Education, and a post-graduate fellowship -all leading to her working as a teacher and college instructor. At age 25 Tracy visited the faculty library and figured out she might have the innate variation in sex characteristics, Androgen Insensitivity.

Spending all these years in the science, medical and educational space didn’t bring Tracy closer to having this confirmed. Finally, at the age of 50, all would be revealed! At age 54, Tracy received “intersex services” from a medical doctor for the very first time. As a long-time activist this passion sees Tracy speaking up for intersex rights and using her visual art as a vehicle to spread the word about our community. This is both figuratively and practically after her van was stolen, Tracy repainted the van rainbow with a generous covering of intersex flags.

Lucie Corden is a feminine intersex woman. Her parents learned she was born with an innate variation in sex characteristics when she was 5 months old. She endured operations from as young as 12 and has been on hormone replacement therapy all her life. But like Tracy, being intersex doesn’t define Lucie. She loves life, is married to a wonderful man with a similar intersex variation. Lucie has worked as a makeup artist, visual artist, barista, and an active and passionate advocate for intersex rights.

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 and guest co-host Cody Smith celebrated International Intersex Awareness Day being held on Saturday Oct 26. They welcomed intersex veterinarian Dr Channy McGowan and Aotearoa/New Zealand intersex advocate Georgia Andrews.

Paul, Cody and their guests talked about the history of International Intersex Awareness Day, why the day is important to the intersex community and shared updates about the status of work to achieve legislative protections for intersex people living in Victoria and elsewhere in Australia.

Georgia, who works closely with Stephanie Lum as the Stakeholder Manager at YOUth&I, an Australian-based intersex youth publication, gave us a sneak peek into the soon to be released fourth edition. She read poetry submitted by intersex youth from across the globe. Profoundly personal, the poetry evoked much emotion, bringing Paul and his guests to tears – so before you listen, grab some tissues.

Paul was thrilled to premiere “Avarice”, the newest song by Melbourne-based independent intersex musician Nyx, from Nyx and the Nightmakers.

Klinefelter’s Syndrome(XXY Syndrome/47XXY)

Klinefelter’s Syndrome, also known as XXY or 47XXY Syndrome, occurs as a result of a random generic error after conception.  It is a genetic condition in which a male is born with an extra copy of the X chromosone.  Thereby, males born with Klinefelter’s may have low testosterone levels, reduced muscle mass, facial and body hair.  (For more information regarding this condition, visit:  https://www. en.wikipedia.org/klinefelter’s syndrome, https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/klinefelter’s syndrome, https://www.mayoclinic.com/klinefelter’s syndrome.)   Hear more about this condition, rarely found in three children born to the same parents.

Anita Deutsch

On this episode of The I in Us, Anita Deutsch  shares how her eldest boy, plus her twin boys, all have Klinefelter’s Syndrome.  Although Klinefelter’s Syndrome occurs in one in five hundred male children, Anita explains that it is very rare to have three children with the same intersex variation.  She thus shares a wealth of information and knowledge, based on her personal experience of raising three children with variations of sex characteristics.  (Should any part of this program be found to be triggering, please visit for support, https://www.joy.org.au/support).

Also discussed on The I in Us  this week is an apparent need for Klinefelter’s(XXY/47XXY) children to have access to the NDIS.  Such access would prove hugely beneficial in dealing with cognitive and developmental challenges.  Access to speech, occupational and physio therapy, would be hugely beneficial to address developmental delays present from birth.  Plus, these services would also assist Klinefelter’s children with challenges experienced going through school.

Paul highlights next week’s episode of The I in Us with special guest Anastasia Fox.  So, don’t forget to tune into The I in Us next Wednesday for another most interesting conversation.   To find out more about overall intersex support, visit https://www.isupport.org.au.  For resources, visit https://www.ihra.org.au.  For X and Y Spectrum support, visit https://www.access.org.au.

Ly Baumgardt

Ly Baumgardt tells The I in Us about his background and current undertakings. He identifies as a trans and intersex anti-Zionist Jewish activist.  Ly enjoys rollerskating, yelling through a bullhorn, and scaring himself with mediocre ghost stories.  He learned he is intersex at fifteen years of age.  Ly had already started doing queer activism at the young age of twelve. Further, by age fourteen he was working in not-for-profit capacities.

TIGERRS and MNTIRN

Plus, at age seventeen Ly co-founded TIGERRS where he is currently the Intersex co-ordinator.(https://www.tigerrs.org)  Later, Ly also founded MNTIRN (Minnesota Trans and Intersex Resource Network), and the Minnesota Trans Resource Directory.  He wrote the booklet:  I Think I May be Intersex.  This booklet is for folks questioning if they have an intersex variation.  It includes common intersex symptoms, tips on self-advocacy and information on testing options.(https://www.tigerrs.org/intersex-resources).  Ly explains the importance of TIGERRS to the hosts on The I in Us.  TIGERRS is a very comprehensive list of resources especially for trans folks , as well as others coming to Minnesota.  It is operated mainly by volunteers and funded by grants, donations and fundraising events.  MNTIRN is a group which collaborates between local LGBTIQA+ organizations and individuals who assist Trans and Intersex folks coming to Minnesota.(https://www.mntirnetwork.org).

 

Ly concludes his interview on The I in Us emphasizing that, in future,  intersex individuals will not have to explain themselves.  Intersex people will be understood and accepted.  He aims to continue introducing resources and getting material passed legislatively.  Overall, Ly intends that, with more resources educating parents and doctors about intersex variations, unnecessary surgeries will decrease.  Such an informative and educational episode you truly cannot afford to miss.

LEARN MORE Esther’s Background
Esther Morris Leidolf tells The I in Us that she was once a carpenter.  She became a gender activist when she discovered others had MRKH Syndrome.  Additionally, Esther is an intersex advocate and writer; with a background in public health data management.  She is known internationally for the founding of the MRKH(Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser sydrome) organization. (https://www.mrkh.org).  Esther was also Board Secretary for the Intersex Society of North America.(https://www.isna.org)  and a renowned author.  She wrote “Not Uncommon, Just Unheard Of”  and “The Missing Vagina Monologue”.   Also, Esther is currently collaborating with a playwright who is writing a a screen play of “The Missing Vagina Monologue”.
 
Esther’s Current Activities
The MRKH is a resource for women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome and their medical providers.  She networks with doctors and women with MRKH in the Boston area; and visits local colleges and universities to talk about her own experience.  She has been interviewed on Gender Talk Radio and presented at Transcending Boundaries and at the LGBTI Health Summit(Boulder 2002).  Currently, Esther is completing her degree in Society and Health at Simmons College and works at Fenway Research Institute in Boston.
 
Esther’s Viewpoint
Esther Morris Leidolf explains to The I in Us that we need to change the way we think about intersex.   That is, intersex needs to be thought about as intersex diversities -not intersex disorders.  We need to stop ‘medicalizing’ people’s bodies.  We need to stop people into ‘binary norms’.  Thus there is a need to explore everything that exists between the far polarized ends of male and female on the binary scale.
So, this episode of The I in Us is a truly educational and captivating episode you really don’t want to miss. (https://www.joy.org/theiinus)

Imagine growing up in a small, conservative rural area of Illinois, being raised a boy but never feeling wholly male or wholly female, not knowing why, and having to navigate your way through your family and community’s highly religious live view, while being surrounded by biological sex and gender stereotypes and influences that never quite matched your sense of self or the imposed expectations of others.

On this week’s episode of The I in Us, Paul and Little Jase welcome Rhys Cherry to the JOY airwaves, for the first time.



Never having been told they have variations in sex characteristics, something we hear far too frequently from our intersex community, Rhys has successfully navigated their way through life to enjoy positive friendships, successful education, fun creative pastimes, and for the past 20 years, a life living and working in Tokyo.



A few years ago, Rhys learned they have innate variations in sex characteristics, something that was hidden from them but that they now embrace, and now, finally making sense of their world, identifies as nonbinary, and, as Rhys puts it, can “try to live the best intersex life they can”.

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

In this episode of The I in Us, Paul and Jase explore the inclusion of intersex people within Biblical scripture.  Special guests, David and Megan, discuss the work they have undertaken to engage with the Intersex Community.  Both bring attention to, and address, oppressive commentaries that negatively impact the intersex community in religious and broader social settings.
Tune into this truly gripping and informative episode that cannot be missed. https://www.joy.org.au/theiius

In under twelve months, the program has generally become a significant means of support.  In particular, this popular program is proving to be very helpful for those who are still trying to find support within the community.  For more information, visit       https://www.joy.org.au/theiinus
The first part of the episode is a reflection of previous episodes since the beginning of the show in February, 2024.  Many and varied inspiring special guests have shared their lived experiences, and suggested channels through which others are able to find support.  As such, in a very short time the show has successfully attracted a following both nationally and internationally.   Hear how  The I in Us has become so successful, and so important not only within the intersex community, but the wider community as a whole.
Parents of intersex youth, intersex individuals reaching out, authors, musicians, film-makers, advocates, peer support personnel, allies, and many others have tuned in to The I in Us.  Over thirty-five people have been interviewed in just twenty-five shows.  The program enjoyed even more success during Radiothon 2024.  The amazing hosts, Paul and Little Jase, raised over $15,000 for JOY, in a first ever Radiothon for this show.  Paul and Little Jase sincerely thank again those generous people and organizations who donated.
Please share The I in Us podcasts far and wide.  The more people we reach, the more people we can help.  The more lives we can change.  For support, visit https://www.joy.org.au/support
 
Isabelle James(Issy)
During this episode Paul and Little Jase welcomed to the studio another special guest, the delightful Issy James.  Issy comes from a health-care background, as well as having worked in the not-for-profit sector.  Having a background revolving around caring and support makes Issy the successful person she is today.  Issy is now CEO for JOY, and continues to be a very caring, kind person as well as an efficient, well organized and productive leader.
Issy believes that to have and continue to have an intersex voice in the media is crucial.  This voice can empower not only the intersex community, but the wider community as well.  The I in Us is a successful medium through which the intersex community can be empowered.  The show is able to advocate for people and de-stigmatize intersex.  The I in Us plays an important role in making society aware that intersex people are incredible; they are capable and professional  like everyone else.  They are not invisible.
 
So grab a coffee, relax and be inspired by another amazing episode of The I in Us.
ENJOY!

LEARN MORE There is so much to learn about the subject of intersex tonight.  Come, tune into another powerful, absorbing and educational episode of The I in Us.  Our fabulous hosts, Paul and Little Jase chat to Stephanie Vaughan, special guest on tonight’s program.
Born in Yorkshire United Kingdom in 1961, Stephanie became aware that she was different as a young child, especially about gender.  Instead of entering a male puberty, she developed as a female.  She was lied to both by her parents and medical professionals.
Stephanie emigrated to Western Australia in 2006.    While being treated for a thyroid issue in 2012, it was discovered she was producing an abnormally huge amount of oestrogen.  When she returned to the U.K to obtain her medical records,  she was handed records which had been highly censored.  When she returned to Australia, her GP referred her to a Gender Specialist who informed her that she is intersex/hermaphrodite.  Stephanie was born with both male and female genitalia and was surgically modified at birth.  Listen as she describes her lengthy, somewhat rocky, road to becoming her authentic self:  Stephanie Vaughan.  Hear about the complications she experienced along the way, including during her school years.  At what age did she find out the truth about her birth?
Find out what measures Stephanie took to become her authentic self and at what age.  In 2021 she published a book and entitled it  “HALF HIM HALF HER.”  Her book covers her difficult journey and raises awareness of intersex and transgender people.  She chats about her book during this  episode of The I in Us.  Her ongoing passion now is to raise awareness of the many challenges facing intersex and transgender people.
This truly intriguing episode is an absolute must.

Paul and Little Jase introduce Suzannah and Rik, Leo’s parents.   This compelling episode concentrates on Leo’s early years.  Paul and Little Jase speak with Suzannah and Rik about the events that led to consulting with various health professionals to finally learn that Leo has 47,XXY (Klinefelter syndrome.)  Klinefelter syndrome is a congenital condition, where males are born with one or more extra X chromosomes.  The condition may cause slow language and walking development, as well as learning and behavioural problems.   It is a condition that can easily be confused with Autism.  Klinefelter syndrome is diagnosed by means of blood tests:  called karyotype, which is a genetic test that looks at the chromosomes.  If there is more than one X chromosome, this means one has Klinefelter syndrome.  (For more information about Klinefelter syndrome visit https://www.healthdirect.com.au/klinefelter-syndrome)
Hear about Suzannah and Rik’s incredible journey before learning that Leo has Klinefelter syndrome.  How long was it before Leo could speak?  At what age was Leo when Suzannah and Rik were informed Leo has Klinefelter syndrome?  The answers, plus much, much more,  are all within this captivating episode.
Truly this is such an inspiring, not to be missed program.

Intersex is when individuals are born with a range of variations in sex characteristics.  The term intersex is used as an umbrella term covering about forty different sex variations; every one of them having a medical terminology.  Understandably, the term intersex would be much less dehumanizing than some of the medical labels.  Being able to use the term intersex to identify oneself is like a kind of softening term; less confronting than using some of the medical terminologies.  “The medical profession could do better to stop pathologizing intersex people and accepting them as a variation in biology”.(Channy on The I in Us, 14th February 2024)
Learn about intersex within the animal kingdom.  Do variations in sex characteristics occur within the animal/zoological kingdom?  Hear about cattle and intersex.  How do turtles function?  Is red tape involved when an animal is born with variations in sex characteristics?  Does a decision have to be made whether an animal should be raised female or male?
The answers to the above questions are all contained within this episode, plus much, much more.  An episode of The I in Us  you just cannot afford to miss.
