Intersex: making the I in LGBTIQ+ visible

People with intersex experiences are one of most invisible people in the LGBTIQ+ spectrum. Some people might even say that the I stands for invisible. It’s about time to make the I in LGBTIQ+ visible!

Join us to learn how intersex experiences (or sex diversity as it’s also called) differs, or are similar, from other experiences in the trans+ community. What terms you should know when talking about this group of people and what challenges they face. After covering the basics to ensure everyone is on the same page, we hear a personal story from Merel, who will tell her story: from childhood to working life and how her experiences impacted her. We close with a panel session to hear from frontrunner Accenture what employers and colleagues can do to support these people.
