On 'The Five Sexes'

 While researching around about Intersex people I found an interesting point that Wikipedia cites from Julius Kaggwa, a prominent intersex and transgender activist and executive director of intersex support organization: Support Initiative for People with atypical sex Development (SIPD), stating that while the gay community "offers us a place of relative safety, it is also oblivious to our specific needs". Despite being considered a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, an intersex person can still be cisgendered and heterosexual and within the community there is sometimes an assumption that trans protections also apply intersex people but this isn't necessarily the case because it is more a matter of sex than gender. I wasn't fully aware what "intersex" even meant before reading this but now that I have a better understanding I can see why that group, even amongst the LGBTQIA+ community, has a unique struggle for awareness and rights even amongst allies.
