Intersex is Normal

In partnership with

I write a lot here about how my intersex body affects my day-to-day life. But perhaps, there’s something else just as important to mention, and that’s how it doesn’t.

I work a corporate, 8-5 job as a technical writer in healthcare.

I enjoy playing video games.

I read 50-70 books a year.

I struggled with weight gain and eating well.

I sometimes struggle to keep a consistent exercise routine.

I love food, and I love to cook as an act of service.

I don’t see my mom or dad enough.

Finally, a portfolio that's auto-updating, and creates backups of your work.

If you're a writer, journalist or content marketer, you are probably familiar with these struggles:

1. Spending hours updating your portfolio page to keep it fresh.

2. Losing your work samples due to site shutdowns.

It automatically pulls in your content and creates a stunning portfolio that updates itself every time you publish.

Plus, it backs up all your work, so you never have to worry about losing anything.

I love my wife to pieces.

I don’t really enjoy social media, but I work at it anyway.

I’m a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs (stop the chop), Royals, Current, and the WNBA as a whole.

My favorite bands are Florence + the Machine and Coheed and Cambria.

I see a therapist every other week.

I’m the proud fur father of two geriatric cats.

My favorite season is fall.

My favorite color is orange.

I sing loudly in the car, shower, and pretty much everywhere else. Even on stage.

I’m an ambivert, gaining energy equally from people and alone time.

I’ve performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Off-Broadway.

I haven’t performed in a full production since July of last year.

I’ve written seven books, four of which are published so far.

I cannot stand brussel sprouts or goat cheese.

Why all these random facts? Chances are, you identify with some of them. You at least understand them, can see me as a person who is much more than a collection of my intersex variations.

Because intersex people, like transgender people or people of color or people from different countries, are all just people. Ultimately, we all have far more in common with each other than our differences. And that’s the path to unity, to moving past this terribly divisive time we’re living in. Just see each other as people. See each other with empathy.

Accept and love one another. That’s it.
