This fascinating program of The I in Us with Gabriel and Margie, brings to the JOY airwaves another truly informative, educational episode.

Tonight our fabulous co-hosts, Paul and Cody, welcome special guests, Gabriel Filpi and Margie McCumstie to the program.   Gabriel and Margie are both highly regarded Australian intersex individuals and advocates.  On The I in Us with Gabriel Filpi and Margie McCumstie, the fabulous hosts, Paul and Cody, speak about intersectionality.   They discuss the parallels and intersectionality between having an innate variation in sex characteristics and being neurodiverse.  The potential reasons for what anecdotally seems to be a high prevalence of neurodiversity within the intersex community was also explored.

Further, during this special episode of The I in Us, Paul and Cody paid tribute to Del Victus.  Del sadly passed away last December.  Del was a staunch and tireless advocate for raising awareness about the challenges associated with being intersex and neurodiverse.  In addition, Del was actually scheduled in to be a guest on this episode. The song at the end of this program is ‘Don’t Stop me Now’ by Queen.

So, tune in to JOY 94.9 and listen to Gabriel and Margie speak about their lives, being both intersex and neurodiverse .  The I in Us: a show by the intersex community, about the intersex community  -for all of us.  https://www.joy.org.au/the I in Us
