On this episode Cody and Paul welcomed two friends of the show back to The I in Us, Bonnie Hart and Steph Lum, who were responsible for leading some ground-breaking immersive workshops at two Intersex Peer Support Australia (IPSA) retreats in 2017, which gave rise the publication of an academic paper, “Intersex lived experience: trauma and posttraumatic growth in narratives” (2021), and the publishing of a wonderful book, “Unspoken”, in 2023.

At the workshops participants were invited to contribute anonymous reflections, writings, drawings and letters to their past or future self, parents, friends, lovers, doctors… or anyone who has had a significant role in an aspect of their life as someone with an intersex variation. Similarly, parents, carers, partners and family members of someone who has an intersex variation, were invited to a write a letter to their past self or future self, their child as a younger or older person, their partner or lovers, their child’s doctors…or anyone who played a significant role in an aspect of their journey supporting someone with an intersex variation.

In addition to discussing this unparalleled project, we also learned how members of the intersex community can contribute to the next publication, Unspoken 2. https://interaction.org.au/resource/unspoken-a-collection-of-untold-intersex-stories/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRVFmhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFTeHBOSm5aaUFjMWl0aHJzc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHhzqJFdhvIqgnMaLyLUBvNMbe0CwwnLEPE1n3jIKmsndB7epGqqfl0ZZkF8A_aem_jJd0BBnIx1HgZ_9gG-UBYQ

Produced by JOY 94.9 as part of their Rainbow Community Podcasts, this series moves beyond simple definitions to explore the lived realities, diverse identities, and personal stories of intersex people. Each episode fosters a genuine sense of connection, tackling how intersex experiences intersect with broader societal structures, cultural perceptions, and personal well-being. You’ll hear discussions that thoughtfully navigate topics of health, both physical and mental, fitness, sexuality, and the ongoing journey toward self-acceptance and advocacy.
