Also intersex, and am looking forward to the movie. I'm with you that we're starved for representation.

If reading is your jam, I recently found this big list of intersex ownvoices books here: https://www.bogireadstheworld.com/intersex-ownvoices-books/

And this is a personal plug but I'm co-organizing an online Intersex Book Club where we read those books: https://intersexbookclub.tumblr.com/

Figuring out that I'm intersex explained a lot for me and gave me a way to make sense of traumatic things from my pubescent years. Meeting people with similar experiences, even though they are traumatic experiences, was something very joyful for realizing I was not alone nor a weird freak.

Learning the term ipsogender was also a joyful thing for me since gave me a way to articulate that even though I agree with my assigned gender I have a lot of baggage about it and honestly relate more to trans people than to cis people.

(I'm also bi but I figured that out at an early age, my parents were reasonably supportive, and it wasn't the same kind of galaxybrain process for me as figuring out sex/gender.)

Ah! Très utile, merci!

Planning to explore the different Routes Vertes out of Montreal to the nearby parks. Gonna do a bike camping trip to Oka once mosquito season dies down, then later on do Ptit train du nord to Mont Tremblant. If time allows gonna try and bike out to some of the parks in the Eastern Townships.
