My Note: This is an absolutely fascinating story of one person's discovery. It plays into current politics surrounding sex and gender. It explores Ben's feeling and the science of sex. It highlights the fallacy of the binary. I am going to leave it you to read Ben's story and quote only his outcome.
The beginning: The day after Donald Trump’s inauguration, I opened my phone to a news update saying the president had signed an executive order mandating that the government acknowledge only two sexes: male and female.

An executive order effectively declaring the nonexistence of intersex and trans individuals will never make us cease to exist. It just puts our lives at risk. At a time in our country when leaders aim to censor human stories from the national narrative, it’s essential that we share our truths.
Pumpkin Head will destroy the country! Might as well forget about Pride Parade for 4 years.
