Intersex activist and DePaul alum Pidgeon Pagonis speaks about their global activism — and its origins at the DePaul Women’s and Gender Studies Department. Intersex people are are born with sex characteristics that don’t fit into the traditional boxes of male and female. Sometimes, these characteristics show up right at birth and are often labeled as birth defects. Other times, these characteristics don’t show up until puberty. Most commonly, people go their entire lives without realizing they are intersex unless they have a medical necessity to run tests that show those intersex traits.
