Schuyler is joined by activist, author and the Human Rights Commissioner for the City of Austin, Alicia Roth Weigel. In this deep discussion, Roth Weigel, explains why people aren't familiar with the word intersex, how 2% of the world’s population is born intersex and how intersex individuals are born with both male and female reproductive organs. Roth Weigel also discusses how many intersex individuals are given the label of male or female at birth, stripping them of their identity.
