Your Experience Matters
Living with bodily differences — whether chromosomal, hormonal, or anatomical — can be deeply personal and complex. These differences may have come to light at birth, during puberty, or while trying to conceive. No matter when or how, they can profoundly impact your sense of self.
You may have faced:
- Nonconsensual medical interventions
- Medical trauma
- Identity erasure and exclusion
- Conflicts between your body and your identities
- Stigma and discrimination related to gender
- Rigid gender expectations and body policing
These experiences can take a toll on your self-esteem, confidence, and relationships.
You are not alone.
What Helps Intersex People Heal
Research shows that intersex people build resilience and thrive through:
- Activism
- Social support and acceptance
- Affirmative psychosocial & medical care
- Self-acceptance
- Openness and agency
- Post-traumatic growth
While many of these strengths emerge outside of therapy, the right support can make a powerful difference.
