Intersex 101
Event description
Join us at GeCo on Wednesday the 31st of July for an informative workshop called "Intersex 101"
This Better Lives session is focused on public understanding of innate variations of sex characteristics (intersex). We will be looking at historical and current perceptions of what intersex is as well as how this population view themselves. An in depth focus on common variations and their needs in different environments will also be discussed. An open discussion will finish the session and questions will be answered and hopefully asked.
