Paul and Cody welcome Margie McCumstie to this episode of The I in Us.  Margie is the InterAction for Health and Human Rights Training and Communications Coordinator in Australia.   They highlight the inaugural intersex women and non-binary retreat, plus her whirlwind, ten-day trip to New York.

Margie participated in Outright International’s Advocacy Week off-site events.  These events are associated with the Seventieth Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).  The event featured a session on the rights of intersex people, particularly women.  CSW is the principal global intergovernmental body which exclusively promotes gender equality and the empowerment of women.  Outright International  invited Margie to attend this event which testifies the place Australia and InterAction holds internationally in respect to intersex rights.

In conclusion, Margie shared, “It was such an honour to participate in the first-ever intersex side-event inside the UN Headquarters in New York as part of 70th Commission on the Status of Women.”

Tune into The I in Us, a space dedicated to the often overlooked and vital conversations within the intersex community. 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. This podcast serves as both a refuge and a resource, amplifying voices that challenge norms and build understanding. It’s about finding the shared humanity in our individual stories and recognizing the strength in community. For anyone within the LGBTIQA+ spectrum and its allies, these conversations provide essential insight and foster a deeper, more inclusive dialogue. The depth and authenticity found here make this more than just a podcast; it's a continuous thread in the fabric of community building.
