'My life being intersex'

Available for over a year

Suz Temko found out she was intersex on the day of her school prom and spent the next 10 years struggling with her self-worth and identity. Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe people born with biological sex characteristics that don’t fit typical male or female categories. So whilst we’re told that people are either born male or female, there are actually many intersex variations that people can be born with too. Far from being rare, it’s something that affects thousands of people in the UK. So why don’t we talk about it? And what’s it like to be intersex? Suz talks frankly with her sister Juliet and fellow intersex campaigner Anick and has an emotional reunion with psychologist Dr Lih-Mei Liao, who looked after her nearly a decade ago.
