Hungry Beast episode 17 - Intersex

Intersex is something most of us havent heard about, but its as common as 1 in 100 people. Its the word for a person born with anatomy thats both male and female what used to be known as a hermaphrodite. (This word is considered offensive by most intersex people and isnt used anymore please see below).

We all know about the many shades of grey between male and female when it comes to personality, looks, or the way a person feels, but these gradations exist in our bodies too. There are hundreds of different intersex variations, from the more obvious to the very subtle.

Hungry Beast spoke to two intersex Australians about their experiences.
