'I was born intersex and doctors tried to erase me. It's important to speak out'
Raven van Dorst is the singer and a musician with the Dutch rock-metal band Dool, and a TV personality in the Netherlands. After discovering in their 20s that they had been born intersex, van Dorst is now singing about the theme of identity in Dool's upcoming album.

Raven really is a good force in the Netherlands I feel like. I don't regularly watch TV, but a while ago I was at my parents and there we had a TV show on which primarily featured Raven inviting guests on their farm. My parents, who normally are mostly okay with trans stuff but also quite unaware and a bit ignorant, seemed to like Raven as a person and therefore also seemed quite open to their identity and opinions. The show also contained some candid discussions about the subject, including the impact of the way people still fail to fully accept people who don't fit the binary. I think Raven actually contributes a lot to Intersex and non-binary awareness.
