I am a writer and an unfunded intersex human rights activist. Sometimes, it’s hard to make ends meet. I was very ill in hospital at the end of last year. I was also very overdrawn. I was too ill to do anything about the bank fines. To combat the stress, I said to myself, “On my death bed, am I going to think, ‘I didn’t earn enough, I went overdrawn and ruined my credit rating?’ Or am I going to think, ‘I did something to change intersex human rights for the better?’”
I haven’t had a typical career path, but I can share my experience. Growing up in the UK, I didn’t see any positive representations of people like me. Not just intersex, but also immigrant, working class, poor, lesbian and queer. I didn’t get a message that I could do very much with my life.
